| Savannah,
Georgia
Gracious antebellum
homes and impeccable manners, southern charm
and architectural integrity describe Savannah,
an enchanting city fiercely proud of its history
and unique way of life, ones not found in many other
locations in the United States. Strolling
the two and a half square mile Historic District,
an example of civic pride and restoration for
the rest of the country, is a step back to a
time when men bowed and ladies fainted on a
regular basis. This famous District is
comprised of 23 distinct squares, each
surrounded by homes, businesses and
churches. Charming bed and breakfasts
dot the city, and visitors will find plenty to
enjoy here. Of course, the city's most
famous visitor was General William Tecumseh
Sherman, arriving in 1864 after burning his way from
Atlanta to the Sea. Savannah was spared
Sherman's wrath, and today, thanks to a citizenry
devoted to preserving its past, flourishes as an elegant historical gem.
