Historic Savannah Theatre
222 Bull St, Chippewa Square, Savannah, 31401-3927, Georgia
When people reach Chippewa Square, they usually feel like something’s missing from the iconic landmark. Known by locals and tourists alike as the “Forrest Gump” square, Chippewa Square doesn’t actually have a bench like in the movie, but it’s certainly famous nonetheless! Just a stone’s throw from the famous-yet-benchless square is the Savannah Theatre, which opened in 1818. This theatre is the oldest one in the country and still produces shows nightly

The Old Sorrel Weed House Museum & Tours
6 West Harris St, , Savannah, 31401-4354, Georgia
Savannah has no shortage of spooky stories to tell and haunted houses to tour. The Sorrel Weed House is one of the most haunted houses in the country, so it’s only fitting that it appears on our list of stops, especially for the Grave Encounters Tour. The home is also a beautiful example of the architecture and design the Antebellum period was known for.

Forsyth Park
Savannah, 31401, Georgia
Arguably one of the most important sights in Savannah, Forsyth Park’s picturesque flowers, foliage, and fountain. Snap a photo of Savannah’s iconic fountain (the one that turns green around St. Patrick’s Day!)

The Pirates' House
20 E Broad St, , Savannah, 31401-2929, Georgia
The Pirates’ House opened in 1753…to real-life pirates! The inn was used by travelers and sailors, looking to rest on solid ground after roaming the seas. Although no pirates frequent the establishment now, the building serves as a restaurant, so it’s still full of boisterous, happy guests.

However, the square is actually named after Georgia’s first governor, John Reynolds. Nearby you’ll find the deliciously famous Leopold’s Ice Cream, The Ole Pink House, and the Lucas Theatre.

This open-air market mimics the one that stood in its place back in the 1800s. Nowadays, passersby are driving cars rather than horse-and-buggy, but the experience of wandering the aisles and checking out local vendors is quite similar!
