Historic District Mansion
- Cultural Attractions and Museums
Savannah has more than 45 historical and cultural attractions. Discovering the Treasures within our many House Museums, Forts and historic sites, you will find a city full of artistic and cultural offerings. One of the nation’s oldest public museums, the Telfair Museum of Art, now includes a dazzling new complex facing Telfair Square. It’s surrounded by a wonderland of historic architecture and it’s only a short walk from the historic King-Tisdell Cottage, the Ralph Mark Gilbert Civil Rights Museum and the birthplace of Girls Scouts founder Juliette Gordon Low.
Antiques and Galleries Galore: Savannah is always alive with the arts. Influences like the Savannah College of Art and Design and the City Market artist colony makes our Historic District the perfect artist’s muse. Antique shops, galleries and hand-crafted gift shops pepper every corner of the district and River Street, so explore and shop to your heart’s content.

- Fantastic Tybee Island
Just 20 minutes from the Historic District lies Tybee Island, Savannah’s beach. Spend the day enjoying the sea breezes. Take a dolphin tour, kayak tour or deep-sea fishing excursion. Climb to the top of Georgia’s oldest, tallest lighthouse, or track wartime battles at the island’s two historic forts. Or just swim and sunbathe. Watch the shrimp boats come ashore with their catch, and know you’re in for some of the freshest seafood ever. Dine at one of Tybee’s funky seaside bungalows or one of their trendier, upscale restaurants. Hit the Tybee strip for nightlife and entertainment or take a moonlit walk on the Tybee pier.
