What to do and see in Savannah, Georgia (GA): The Best Monuments & Statues
Charming Savannah is the picture of antebellum hospitality, thanks to period architecture and oak-lined streets. It’s tempting to spend your trip just relaxing on vast verandas and sipping mint juleps, but there are plenty of historical sites and museums to explore. Haunting (and possibly haunted) Bonaventure Cemetery is one of the hallmarks of the city, featuring beautiful obelisks, masses of flowers, and ivy-covered crypts. Dine on fresh seafood and creamy grits for a taste of Savannah home cooking.

A beautiful tribute to those who fought and perished defending our world from the Nazis in WWII. With all that our country is going through these days it's worth taking a moment to reflect and this monument allows you to do just that. Thank you to those who have given their lives in defense of the freedoms of others.

This is a beautiful statue of a family of four African-Americans, with the chains of slavery at their feet. There is an inscription, written by Maya Angelou, at its base.

Old forts are just fun and this one is no exception. Run by lovely older gentlemen who know all the history and enjoy answering questions. Even though there are no official tours due to covid, the volunteers stationed along the way filled us in on anything we were looking at!! One even told us all about how they constructed the base for the walls, where they got the brick, etc. Super cool. Be sure to walk all around the outside walls and see the artillery damage done by the union!!!
