Streets And Steps From Reused Ballast

Historic Savannah Georgia

Stones carried into Savannah harbor on 18th century ships to help with balance. They were left behind when the cargo was loaded, and early settlers used them as a building material.

Savannah Georgia is a year round tourist destination. Winters are mild, summers are hot, and every other time is perfect. Referred to as “the Hostess City of the south”, expect a friendly welcome from the local residents and businesses. Bring a camera and comfortable walking shoes and plan to stay awhile.

Thanks for stopping by 🙂
