Discover Savannah’s Historic Neighborhoods
Savannah, renowned for its well-preserved history, boasts several neighborhoods each with its own unique story. A leisurely stroll or a charming trolley ride from The Inn takes you on a journey through these historic areas.
- Victorian District: Just a stone’s throw away, this area is a colorful display of Victorian architecture. As you wander, the intricate details and vibrant hues of the 19th-century homes transport you to a bygone era. Scattered within the Victorian District, visitors will find significant landmarks such as the King Tisdell Cottage, a museum dedicated to African-American heritage.
- The Historic Downtown: The heart and soul of Savannah, the Historic Downtown, is a living museum. Here, cobblestone streets, majestic oaks draped in Spanish moss, and historic landmarks such as the Cathedral of St. John the Baptist and the Mercer-Williams House create a picture-perfect setting.
- Starland District: South of the Historic and Victorian Districts, the Starland District is known for its eclectic and artistic vibe. Starland is home to vintage shops, galleries, and quirky cafes. This neighborhood, a blend of the old and the new, showcases the evolving nature of Savannah’s community.
- Moon River District: Nestled along the scenic Moon River, located approximately 20 minutes away from downtown Savannah, this lesser-known gem offers a serene escape. You’ll need a car to get there, but the journey is worth it. Known for its natural beauty, the Moon River District features breathtaking marsh views, tranquil walking trails, and the historic Wormsloe Plantation, inviting visitors to experience a peaceful side of Savannah. The Moon River District is named in honor of the song composed by Johnny Mercer, who was born and raised in Savannah. Mercer’s iconic tune captures the essence of the area’s charm and beauty. For those interested in exploring further, there are several beautiful islands dotting the river, each with its own unique allure and history.
