Sightseeing
In 1733 James Oglethorpe, founder and planner of Savannah, was a visonary who sought to build the ideal city based on humanism, science and secular government. These 3 Enlightment ideals are how Savannah was created for a vision of social equity and civic virtue. The mechanisms supporting the Oglethorpe plan was conceived with toleration and wholesome regulations. This included yeoman governance, equitable land allocation, stable land tenure and prohibition of slavery.
I suggest walking or cycling Savannah's Twenty-Five Squares. Located in the console in the foyer of the Depot is a detailed description of history for each square.
Enjoy as it is quite remarkable!
The Waving Girl Statue located here commemorates Florence Martus, the lighthouse keeper's sister who waved to Savannah Ships in Savannah's port for more than 44 years. She stands as a symbol of Savannah's gracious hospitality and charm. Jump on the bikes and take the bike paths located on Price Street (in back of the Depot) or Lincoln Street to and from.
