Savannah is a beautiful 250-year old city filled with historical sites and museums.

Old Fort Jackson Three miles east of President Street Extension, the fort was built from 1808 to 1812 to defend the city from the British. It was later expanded in the 1840's and was used as a fortification in three wars: the Revolutionary War, the War of 1812 and the Civil War. Abandoned for military purposes in the 1870's, the fort is now maintained by the Coastal Heritage Society. Fort Pulaski National Monument Fort Pulaski lies 15 miles east of Savannah, on Highway 80 heading toward Tybee Island. Construction began in 1829 and was completed in 1847. This fortification served as the first duty station for Robert E. Lee, who was involved with design and construction to the dike system and who also chose the specific location of the fort. The fort fell to Union troops in April 1862, following a Union bom-bardment from Tybee Island. This was the .rst bombardment to use the new rified rounds, which offered a much greater degree of accuracy than previous ordnance. The rapid fall of the fort stunned the nation and prompted a redesign of masonry forts as defense. The Fort today remains much as it was after Union troops moved in and repaired the breached walls. Telfair Museum of Art 121 Barnard Street, 232-1177. An early 1800's building designed by renowned Savannah architect, William Jay. The house was completed in 1819 as a residence for Alexander Telfair, the son of Revolutionary War patriot and governor, Edward Telfair. The rotunda, sculpture gallery and offices were added in 1883. The house and furnishings were left to the Georgia Historical Society in 1875, when Mary Telfair died. The museum was officially opened in 1886, making it the oldest public art museum in the south. The Telfair is noted for its collections of American Impressionism and Ashcan Realism, mixed with a range of European paintings. Owens-Thomas Museum 124 Abercorn Street, 233-9743. Designed by William Jay, and built in 1819 as a residence for the Richard Richardson family. The Richardsons lost the home during a depression in the 1820's, and it served as a boarding house until bought by George Owens in 1830 for $10,000. It remained in the Owens family until 1951, when it was bequeathed to the Telfair Museum of Art. It includes one of the earliest intact urban slave quarters in the South and is the finest example of English Regency architecture in the nation. Many of the Owens family's furnishings are kept there. Wormsloe Plantation 7601 Skidaway Road, 353-3023. Situated on a forested peninsula surrounded by coastal marshes, Wormsloe Plantation was established in 1737 by Noble Jones, one of the first British colonists in the area. The site includes a plantation house built by Jonesâ grandson in 1828, a detached library, the ruins of a fortified house, a mile-long drive bordered by large oaks, and Confederate earthworks. Wormsloe was Noble Jonesâ country estate where he experimented with his grand passion horticulture. He protected the cypress and oak forests of his property and never cultivated the land. The surviving ruins of the original house are one of the only remaining examples of fortified houses once common throughout coastal Georgia.

The headquarters of the Eighth Air Force was founded in Savannah, in January 1942. During World War II, Mighty Eighth's bombers and fighters carried the War deep into the enemy's territory and contributed substantially to the victory over Nazi Germany. The Museum honors the men and women who helped defeat Nazi aggression by serving in or supporting the greatest air armada the world had ever seen--the Eighth Air Force. Of the 350,000 members of the Eighth Air Force, 26,000 were killed in action and 28,000 became prisoners of war. In the years since World War II, the men and women of the Eighth Air Force have lent their strength and skill to every major military engagement involving the Armed Forces of the United States. The Eighth continues its role in America's defense to this day as an important component of the U.S. Air Force's Air Combat Command. Museum planners traveled throughout the United States and Europe visiting museums and talking with staff from these institutions. The very best elements found among these facilities were then combined to create a dramatic 90,000 square foot museum complex.
