Savannah Historic District

Savannah's picturesque historic district brings the traditional southern atmosphere to life.

Reviewed By tazman572 - Sharon, Canada

Savannah is one of the prettiest city's that we have visited. Lots of history with beautiful old homes, buildings, squares and cemeteries. First thing we did was take an old town trolley tour. We think that $33.00 for one day is too expensive, (2 days is $46.00), but you can hop on and off at 15 stops. We did the same tour in St. Augustine and the cost per day is only $23.00 or $28.00 for 2 days. Would be nice if the cost was the same in all cities that they operate in. We also took a 45 minute caleche/horse drawn carriage ride and a riverboat cruise. There are some great restaurants to be found and your days will be full of great sites to visit. We want to come back again.

National Museum of the Mighty Eighth Air Force

The National Museum of the Mighty Eighth Air Force preserves the stories of courage, character and patriotism displayed by the men and women of the Eighth Air Force from World War II to present.

The museum was wonderful. You really shouldn’t miss stopping here. Very educational for all ages.
The staff was part volunteer and part paid. Our guy had a brother who actually flew during WW II. He had fantastic stories to share.
Parking was plentiful and it was easy access from I-95.

Savannah National Wildlife Refuge

Reviewed By worldtravelhombre - Ottawa, Canada

My two boys (5 and 2) spent two hours here last October and thoroughly enjoyed the experience. There was plenty to see - check out the website for all of the animals. Wagons can be cheaply rented from the front desk which was ideal for my 2 year old who would have struggled to walk the whole way. I particularly liked the diversity of the refuge and the boardwalk out into the everglades. Baby crocs are kept in the museum shop in the main building. My boys liked seeing the babies up close. Overall, a great visit for any family with kids. We will certainly visit again on our return to Savannah next year.

Cathedral of St. John the Baptist

The oldest Roman Catholic church in Georgia.

Reviewed By LWMiller - Illinois

This is one of several really beautiful churches in Historic Savannah. You can easily access it on foot and see many beautiful sights along the way. The exterior is stunning as is the inside. I love churches and the exterior of this one reminds me of the cathedrals in Europe to an extent. Very nice.

Webb Military Museum

Reviewed By rtmills - Tampa, Florida

I was amazed at the amount of items on display! The museum includes items and information from each major American-involved war back to the Civil War. I was impressed by the museum's World War II collection, it was very in-depth! While I was there I happened to meet the owner, Gary. He's a very kind and personable man, and answered all my questions about his collection. The museum is more than just items, it's also about the stories behind its items. Gary and his family have been very connected to multiple wars and the stories he has behind each display are amazing. Overall, this is one of the best museums I've ever been to.

We offer tours that include our historic sanctuary and museum with many historic artifacts including two Torahs written in the 1400's (probably the oldest in the U.S.), a Jewish food festival (last Sunday in October), destination weddings and services every Friday, Saturday and holidays.

American Prohibition Museum

Not your average "Dry" Museum, the American Prohibition Museum is the first and only museum in the United States dedicated to the history of Prohibition. While here, guests will travel back in time to the early 1900s, as anti-alcohol rallies swept the nation and the "booze problem" was pushed to the fore-front of American politics.

Reviewed By Minkster56 - Mississauga, Canada

Alone this is pricy, if you take the city tour with old town trolley tours, then you get the prohibition museum, thrown in , a savings of ten a person or so. Anyway once inside, expect to spend an hour, great history lesson.Minkster56, Thank you so much for taking the time to leave us a review!

First African Baptist Church

First African Baptist Church was organized in 1773 under the leadership of Reverend George Leile and established and constituted in December of 1777 as a body organized believers. Under the leadership of the 3rd Pastor Reverend Andrew C. Marshall, the congregation obtained the property where the present sanctuary stands. Marshall also organized the first black Sunday school in North America and changed the name of the church from “First Colored Baptist” to “First African Baptist”. The sanctuary was completed in 1859 under the direction of the 4th Pastor Reverend William J. Campbell. The ceiling of the church is in the design of a “Nine Patch Quilt” which represented that the church was a safe house for slaves. Beneath the lower auditorium floor is another finished sub floor which is known as the “Underground Railroad”. There is 4ft of height between both floors. The holes in the floor are in the shape of an African prayer symbol known as a Congolese Cosmogram that served a purpose of ventilation. First African Baptist Church has been a place of leadership and service since its inception. Reverend Emmanuel King Love, 6th Pastor, led the movement to establish Savannah State University, formerly known as Georgia State Industrial College for Colored Youth. Rev. Love also played a big role in the establishment of Morehouse College in Atlanta, GA and Paine College in Augusta, GA. During the time of segregation the church served as the largest gathering place for blacks and whites to meet. Visitors from all walks of life have visited out sanctuary and left inspired. TOUR RATES: Adults = $7.00; Seniors = $6.00; Students = $6.00; Children Ages 5 & Under = FREE. TOUR HOURS OF OPERATION: Tuesday - Saturday = 11:00 a.m. & 2:00p.m. Sunday = 1:00p.m.

The history was amazing and learning how the church was built is just astonishing , however our tour guide although he attempted to be funny and nonchalant about it seemed totally disinterested in actually being there - there is so much more that could be done to improve the tour
