9 Things To Do In Savannah TV You Should Try. Here, Savannah, Georgia’s oldest city, has one of the most extensive Historic Landmark Districts in the country.

Locals (and savvy travelers) know that the historic district is just the beginning.

In midtown, a new wave of young business owners, artists, and Savannah College of Art and Design students add to the city’s colorful and lively atmosphere. Meanwhile, its surroundings offer outdoor activities, scenic low country landscapes, and, of course, fresh seafood.

Starland Yard seems to be a wall of re-purposed shipping crates encompassing a small block of the city from the outside. However, entering through its 40th Street entrance reveals a family-friendly park complete with a rotating lineup of local food trucks as well as live music, a bar, and just a play area for children and dogs complete with corn hole and giant Jenga.

Check the park’s website in advance for the food truck schedule, or rely on Pizzeria Vittoria, the park’s one brick-and-mortar restaurant, for wood-fired pizza. The Yard Bar, which is also stationary, serves cocktails and local beers, including some from Two Tides Brewery, which is located adjacent to the park.

The 100-plus acre Bonaventure Cemetery is one of Savannah’s most beautiful spots. Tree-lined avenues draped in Spanish bracken lead to the graves of some of the city’s most famous residents, including songwriter Johnny Mercer and poet Conrad Aiken.

The space, however, is equally garden and graveyard; camellias bloom in both December and January, followed by purple and pink azaleas in early spring.

The SCAD Museum of Art

The SCAD Museum of Art, one of the Things To Do In Savannah TV, Savannah’s newest art museum, is housed in the country’s oldest surviving railroad depot, which underwent a major expansion in 2011. You’d think that attempting to modernize an 1853 antebellum building would result in disaster, but the final outcome is lovely. The long, low structure is made up of restored a towering glass atrium, Savannah gray brick, and some glassy exterior accents.

There’s also a lot going on inside, including sculptures of city skylines made of tables as well as kitchen knives by Latin American artist Carlos Garaicoa, group exhibits discovering the strong influence of Mexican sculptor Elizabeth Catlett, and a showcase of work by Virginia Jackson Kiah, a painter but also civil rights activist with long ties to the university.

Nick Cave,  Kehinde Wiley, and Ebony G. Patterson are among the other names who have emerged in the last decade.

Savannah Underground Tours: Slaves in the City

Savannah Underground Tours: Slaves in the City

This 90-minute walking tour begins and ends at the African American Monument, which depicts an African-American family of four with chains at their feet. It depicts the journey of enslaved Africans from the Savannah River to being holed up below Bay Street and ultimately being sold in Johnson Square.

Patt Gunn, the tour guide and owner, is Gullah Geechee, which means she is a direct descendant of Africans sold into slavery on the coasts of Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina, and the northern tip of Florida.

She promises to “tell the truth” from the start of the tour, and she delivers: Having lived in Savannah for the past few years, she connects her ancestors’ past to the present in an enlightening narrative that leaves guests with a sense of hope rather than a burden.

She also incorporates elements of her Gullah Geechee culture into the story, singing work songs but also spirituals that have been passed down through her family for generations.

Childhood Home of Flannery O’Connor

Flannery O’Connor, the great American writer, was born in Savannah in 1925 and spent most of her life in a charming row house having to face Lafayette Square. The eccentric spirit of O’Connor and her work pervades the museum today, which is about as strange as you’d expect. It’s also as entertaining as a repaired Depression-era writer’s home can be.

They maintain a busy schedule of events, including a normal free lecture series, an annual vacation reading of Truman Capote’s short story “A Christmas Memory,” and, best of all, an annual celebration of O’Connor’s birthday in March, complete with a parade and street fair in Lafayette Square.

This is one of the Things To Do In Savannah TV you should try when you travel here. The 80-acre recreational park on Savannah’s east side has a lot to offer, from the rubberized trail that circles the perimeter (ideal for runners) to the multiple tennis, basketball, and volleyball courts.

Local football and soccer teams use the fields in the fall and spring, and there are plenty of giant oak trees to provide shade for picnics. Grayson Stadium, the shelter of the city’s minor league baseball team, the Savannah Sand Gnats, is also located in Daffin.

Pinnacle Heritage Museum

The Pin Point Heritage Museum tells the incredible story of a small African American fishing village founded in the 1890s by people enslaved on the nearby Sea Islands. This small museum, comprised of four restored buildings, is located in the former A.S. Varn and Son Oyster and Crab Factory and offers amazing views of the salt marshes along the snaking Moon River.

The community of about 300 people still exists, and it hosts a large seafood festival every autumn. The museum, because it is only open Thursday through Saturday, is located far enough away that it doesn’t attract large crowds, which is good because it allows you to hear the breezes over the marsh.
