I've missed a few posts because of all the fun I'm having with G&G. So here are three I've missed...
#5-- In 1864, General Sherman began his march to the sea, burning the city of Atlanta and everything else in their path on the way to the coast. Savannah was evacuated and avoided destruction. Upon entering Savannah, Sherman was so taken back by its beauty that on December 22, 1864, a legendary telegram was sent from Savannah and delivered to then President Abraham Lincoln, by which Sherman presented the city of Savannah to Lincoln as a Christmas present.
#6-- Juliette Gordon Low, founder of Girl Scout of the USA was born in Savannah
#7-- Telfair Mansion and Art Museum is the oldest public art museum in the Southeast.
Housed in the museum are American, French, and Dutch impressionist paintings as well as a large collection of many works in different mediums. (might be a fun spot to visit if some are interested!)
