Savannah and Charleston: Into the Heart of the Old South
Historic preservation is a way of life in 300-year-old Charleston, which
boasts over 2,000 significant buildings in its historic district. An
important trading port in colonial times, Charleston gave America its
first decisive victory in the Revolutionary War and saw the first
defiant shots of the Civil War. Its Old City Market has been restored
and now hosts shops selling local crafts and souvenirs.
Savannah, the setting for the runaway bestseller “Midnight in the Garden
of Good and Evil,” encompasses one of the largest National Landmark
Historic Districts in the United States. This area features thousands of
historically significant examples of Federal, Italianate and Victorian
architecture. Twenty two squares are dispersed throughout the National
Landmark Historic District, each with its own distinctive appearance and
atmosphere. Whether you stroll through these quintessential Southern
cities on foot or ride through them in a horse-drawn carriage, their
charm will carry you away!
