The Cathedral of St. John the Baptist is one of the most beautiful churches in the world. Admission is free (donations accepted) and it's a great place to escape the heat. Take your camera - photos encouraged. Open 9 AM to 5 PM.
Colonial Park Cemetery is a hauntingly pleasant way to stroll through time as read the markers and monuments. It's 1 block north (toward the river) from the Cathedral. Open from 8 AM to 5 PM.
The Owens-Thomas House is THE mansion to tour in Savannah. Built between 1816 and 1818, it has been fabulously restored by the Telfair Academy of Arts and Science. $20 admission . Located on Oglethorpe Square.
The First African Baptist Church on Franklin Square has an incredible history. With luck you can cajole one of the church members to give you a tour. Great story.
A walk down Bull Street from City Hall to Forsyth Park will keep you entranced in Savannah's history.The Green Meldrim House in Madison Square and the fountain (circa 1859) in Forsyth Park are two of my favorite stops.
If Bonaventure Cemetery was within walking distance of the historic district it would easily be #1 on my list. Absolutely beautiful. It is a Victorian Sculpture Garden where they happened to bury people. Pack a picnic and spend the day.
