Itinerary
1. Guests will learn about the circa 1916 mansion. Who built it, who lived in it, what it was built of and why it still stands today. If desired, the home offers tours every hour on the hour.
2. Walk with and learn why this golden jewel built in 1818 still stands on the corner of Bull and Oglethorpe. The home Juliette Gordon Low was born in and a house William Tecumseh Sherman was invited to dinner. But not why you might think!
3. Your guide will introduce you to the Green family and their circa 1853 Gothic Revival mansion! Built at a cost of $93,000, it was Savannah’s most expensive home.
4. Learn about this circa 1820 Federalist style mansion and its unique role in history. It’s the home that started the restoration movement in Savannah in 1954! A tour vouch will be made available to all guests to tour the home at their leisure after the Homes tour.
5. Now a bed and breakfast, your guide will introduce you to this stately Second Empire style Victorian mansion and its role in history. It was the first home in Savannah illuminated with the electric light bulb and was used as the pattern for the Haunted Mansion at Disney World by Walt Disney!
