Ready for our tour of Savannah? Let's get started visiting some of the places we've been talking about in class....
Can you see how the streets are set up in a grid pattern? The houses are set up on the block system. And the clumps of green trees are the public squares Savannah is so famous for. Now they are small parks, but Oglethorpe designed them as gathering places for people living in the town. .jpg)
Savannah’s First African Baptist Church traces its roots to December 1777 and is officially designated the oldest African American church in the United States. Once part of the Underground Railroad, it has served as home to the congregation ever since.
Juliette Gordon Low's Birthplace. She was the founder of the Girl Scouts. 
Tomochich's gravesite.
Typical houses in Savannah. These were built after Oglethorpe's time.
What river do you think that is?!
