Savannah’s History Is Stranger Than Fiction
The Squares
Savannah’s 22 historic squares each have a story — and most of them aren’t in the guidebooks. Patrick knows all of them.
Civil War Secrets
Why did Sherman spare Savannah? The real answer is more complicated — and more interesting — than what you’ve heard.
Architecture & Design
The stories behind Savannah’s stunning antebellum architecture — who built it, who lived there, and what happened inside.
Colonial Origins
Savannah was founded in 1733 with a radical plan. Understanding that plan explains why the city looks and feels the way it does today.
