Located four hours southeast of Atlanta, but a world away from that bustling, modern metropolis, Savannah offers an enchanting stroll back in time. Savannah is widely renowned for its historical features which stand as an open invitation for visitors to uncover its hidden charms. Luscious peach trees, Civil War history, delicious cuisine, and ethnic festivals are part of the Savannah experience. Elegant old mansions and centuries-old cemeteries add to Savannah's rich and colorful history.

Savannah's old world grace and Southern hospitality give the city a unique flavor found nowhere else in the world. The meticulous preservation of its historic treasures extends to buildings, parks, and other properties and draws tourists from all over the country.
Established in 1733, the city cherishes its reputation as the nation's largest urban landmark - a tribute earned by the city's active role in all facets of American history.

While visiting Savannah, be sure to take advantage of all that the city has to offer. The city proudly showcases many fine restaurants, shops, boutiques, and quality museums. Savannah's historic district, beautiful beaches and majestic scenery combine to make any visit to the Hostess City of the South an unforgettable experience. Visitors can relax and enjoy each day of their visit in what is considered to be one of the most beautiful cities in America.

While admiring Savannah's splendid architecture, you might start to notice a recurring color painted on the door frames, porches and window sills of many Savannah homes. This blue/green color, or "Haint Blue," is not only aesthetically pleasing but has an important purpose, and that is to ward off evil spirits. "Haint Blue" paint was first used by African Slaves to secure entry-point into their houses from spirits. According to the Geechee/Gulla culture of the Lowcountry, the blue/green color of "Haint Blue" represents water which, it is believed, spirits can not pass over.

While wandering around Savannah, if you happen to take a stroll down St. Julian Street, you will notice you are walking on oyster shells. You have discovered Tabby. Tabby is a type of cement or plaster used for mortar, walls and walkways. Because limestone was not available along the coast, the colonists burned oyster shells and mixed the ash with sand and water to make cement.

The first movie shown at the Lucas Theater when it opened in 1921 was "Camille." It starred silent film actor Rudolph Valentino.

When the Colony of Georgia was founded in 1733; Catholics, lawyers and hard liquor were banned. But considering that Savannah is now home to the largest celebration in the South honoring St. Patrick (an Irish Catholic Saint) and is famous for the "To-Go Cup" (thanks to the city's liberal view on cocktails to-go); Savannah has obviously dropped all bans created long ago.

Girl Scouts of the U.S.A. was founded in Savannah in 1912 by a Savannah woman named Juliette Gordon Low. Her childhood home now serves as the Girl Scouts' National Headquarters.
