[wbull1]

I will be visiting Savannah. Can anyone recommend what Civil War sites to see there? Thanks.

I can't help you with sites but if you like ice cream then Leopold's is a must!!!!!

Fort Jackson, Fort Pulaski, Fort McAllister, Green-Meldrim House (Sherman's Headquarters), Laurel Grove Cemetery, Sorrel-Weed House (Moxley Sorrel), Georgia Historical Society, and tons more! If the Lafayette McLaws statue is still at Forsyth Park, please take a picture of it. It may have been moved to Laurel Grove? I'd ask @gentlemanrob what to see. He knows all about Savannah. Here's a website that includes suggested Civil War related sites in Savannah https://www.visitsavannah.com/itinerary/civil-war-experience

You covered it pretty good except i would add Bonaventure Cemetery. Last time I was in Savannah McLaws Statue was still in Forsyth Park.

You may want to visit the Ships of the Sea museum if you find that sort of thing interesting. https://www.shipsofthesea.org/

If you are interested in WWII aviation, the Mighty 8th Air Force Museum is located just outside of Savannah in Pooler.

I'd just drive around the country side.

I'm from Kentucky, a land full of oaks, mountains, hills, canyons and streams. Georgia was an alien land when I visited!

Ginkgo trees, palm trees, Cypresses, Live oaks, white herons, King Fishers, Alligators, swamps, sand, pine trees, flatter than a pancake and very, very hot. I loved it down there!

I was working at Fort Stewart which is just inland from Savannah and I thought that my GPM was broken because it was measuring the elevation in - numbers and when I asked the gateguard he laughed and said that portions of the base was actually below sea level and that was why the base was nicknamed "Camp Swampy".

I stayed outside of Fort Stewart in Hinesville. Alien. There was Spanish moss, live oaks, it was amazing! That's why I'd love to live in South Carolina, or Georgia one day.

If you have any interests in old books, prints, maps,etc I would suggest V & J Duncan

It's a little hard to find - it's in the basement of a house, so you need to look closely for the sign. I have purchased several prints from them.

If you like sea food, The Crab Shack ( local, not the chain) on Tybee Island is excellent - all fresh caught.

If you like dive bars, check out The Original Pinkie Master's in Savannah and Huca Poo's on Tybee Island.

They don't get much more divier than these.
