Savannah is the oldest city in the U.S. state of Georgia and is the county seat of Chatham County. Established in 1733 on the Savannah River, the city of Savannah became the British colonial capital of the Province of Georgia and later the first state capital of Georgia. A strategic port city in the American Revolution and during the American Civil War, Savannah is today an industrial center and an important Atlantic seaport. It is Georgia's fifth-largest city, with a 2018 estimated population of 145,862. The Savannah metropolitan area, Georgia's third-largest, had an estimated population of 389,494 in 2018.

Each year Savannah attracts millions of visitors to its cobblestone streets, parks, and notable historic buildings. These buildings include the birthplace of Juliette Gordon Low (founder of the Girl Scouts of the USA), the Georgia Historical Society (the oldest continually operating historical society in the South), the Telfair Academy of Arts and Sciences (one of the South's first public museums), the First African Baptist Church (one of the oldest African-American Baptist congregations in the United States), Temple Mickve Israel (the third-oldest synagogue in the U.S.), and the Central of Georgia Railway roundhouse complex (the oldest standing antebellum rail facility in the U.S.).

Savannah's downtown area, which includes the Savannah Historic District, the Savannah Victorian Historic District, and 22 park like squares, is one of the largest National Historic Landmark Districts in the United States (designated by the U.S. government in 1966). Downtown Savannah largely retains the original town plan prescribed by founder James Oglethorpe (a design now known as the Oglethorpe Plan). Savannah was the host city for the sailing competitions during the 1996 Summer Olympics held in Atlanta.

Leopold’s Ice Cream was founded in 1919 by three brothers from Greece. They learned the art of candy and dessert making from an uncle who had already settled in America. George, Peter and Basil Leopold perfected their secret formulas and created the now world famous Leopold’s Ice Cream.
The brothers opened their ice cream parlor on the corner of Gwinnett and Habersham streets in Savannah, where two streetcar lines intersected. Many a rider would jump off the streetcar and entreat the motorman to wait as they got a frozen delight!

Generations of Savannahians have loved Leopold’s Ice Cream. Their soda fountain business was legendary! Locals still talk about the malts, milk shakes, black and white sodas and banana splits served by the soda jerks who worked at Leopold’s. Leopold’s ice cream and sherbet molds were a holiday highlight in Savannah’s finest clubs and the shop was always a popular destination after concerts, dances and high school sporting events.

Famed lyricist Johnny Mercer grew up a block away from Leopold’s and worked at the shop as a boy. Later, he was a faithful customer when he was home from Hollywood. He even told Peter that he would write a song about Leopold’s famous Tutti Frutti ice cream, which had become a Leopold’s hallmark and Savannah favorite.

Stratton Leopold, Peter’s youngest child, learned the art of making premium ice cream as a boy. Upon his father’s passing, Stratton took over the business continuing his family’s legacy. He later left Savannah to pursue his dream of working in Hollywood.

Today, Stratton is an active member of the Hollywood motion picture community, serving as Producer on films such as Mission Impossible 3, the Sum of All Fears, The General’s Daughter, Paycheck and Parker. Stratton has worked on many other blockbuster hits during his nearly 50 years in the film industry including The Big Chill and John Carpenter’s They Live. Props and posters from these films can be found in the shop today.

Though Stratton left Savannah to pursue his Hollywood dream, Leopold’s Ice Cream continued to be a Savannah tradition carried on by other members of the Leopold family. In the summer of 2004, Stratton and his wife, Mary, officially opened the new Broughton Street location. They continue their legendary family business proudly using many fixtures from the original store including the black marble soda fountain, wooden back bar and telephone booth. When Stratton is not on location with his latest film project, he can be found behind the soda fountain scooping ice cream and washing dishes, just like when he was a kid!

All of Leopold’s super-premium ice cream is hand crafted in historic downtown Savannah using the original, secret recipes and techniques handed down to Stratton by his father. Many of their toppings and ice cream ingredients and all of their sandwich meats and salads are prepared from scratch by a Leopold’s chef. Leopold’s Ice Cream is committed to serving the finest, freshest ice cream, soups and sandwiches in a family friendly environment with the best customer service possible!

We hope that Leopold’s will continue to work its way into the hearts of further generations, in Savannah and beyond. Here’s to another century years of Good Things to Eat! Good Things to Drink!

Juliette Gordon Low (October 31, 1860 – January 17, 1927) was the founder of Girl Scouts of the USA. Inspired by the work of Lord Baden-Powell, founder of Boy Scouts, Juliette Low joined the Girl Guide movement in England, forming a group of Girl Guides in Great Britain in 1911.

In 1912 she returned to the United States, and established the first U.S. Girl Guide troop in Savannah, Georgia, that year. In 1915, the United States' Girl Guides became known as the Girl Scouts, and Juliette Gordon Low was the first president. She stayed active until the time of her death.

Her birthday, October 31, is commemorated by the Girl Scouts as "Founder's Day".

Girl Scouts of the United States of America (GSUSA), commonly referred to as simply Girl Scouts, is a youth organization for girls in the United States and American girls living abroad. Founded by Juliette Gordon Low in 1912, it was organized after Low met Robert Baden-Powell, the founder of Scouting, in 1911. Upon returning to Savannah, Georgia, she telephoned a distant cousin, saying, "I've got something for the girls of Savannah, and all of America, and all the world, and we're going to start it tonight!"

Girl Scouts prepares girls to empower themselves and promotes compassion, courage, confidence, character, leadership, entrepreneurship, and active citizenship through activities involving camping, community service, learning first aid, and earning badges by acquiring practical skills. Girl Scouts' achievements are recognized with various special awards, including the Girl Scout Gold, Silver, and Bronze Awards.

Girl Scout membership is organized according to grade, with activities designed for each level. GSUSA is a member of the World Association of Girl Guides and Girl Scouts (WAGGGS) and accepts girls of all backgrounds.

A 1994 Chronicle of Philanthropy poll showed Girl Scouts ranked by the public as the eighth "most popular charity/non-profit in America" among more than 100 charities. It describes itself as "the world's preeminent organization dedicated solely to girls."

Girl Scout First Headquarters is located at 330 Drayton Street, Savannah, Georgia 31401. This historic site is owned and opperated by Girl Scouts of Historic Georgia and houses a museum and a shop.

The Girl Scout First Headquarters building, formerly the carriage house for Juliette Gordon Low’s adult home, which is currently called the Andrew Low House, was willed to the Girl Scouts of Savannah, GA, Inc. upon her death in 1927. The building has served Girl Scouts longer than any other building in the nation and is the only building left by Juliette to Girl Scouts. Jointly with the Juliette Gordon Low Birthplace, Girl Scout First Headquarters was declared Savannah’s first National Historic Landmark (as the “Juliette Low Historic District”) in 1965; it was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1966. During times of need & transition, space within the building has also been shared with other organizations benefiting the community (Community Chest/United Way and the Junior League of Savannah) and the world (The British War Relief Association during World War II). On January 15, 1996 the First Headquarters building reopened to the public in its current incarnation as a museum, program center and shop. Today, it offers exciting interactive educational experiences for Girl Scouts and the community and, on weekends and school breaks, is usually staffed by local Girl Scout Seniors and Ambassadors. It also houses the council’s archives, available by appointment for research purposes. Groups from Girl Scouts of Historic Georgia may make an appointment to conduct a special ceremony in the museum or the courtyard.

Bisecting Bull Street, Chippewa Square was built well after the Revolution, approximately 1815. The name of the square commemorates the 1814 victory of the Battle of Chippewa in Upper Canada where the British were defeated by American forces under the command of Major General Jacobs Jenning Brown.

As with so many of Savannah’s squares, the beautiful sculpture in the center of the Chippewa Square is not that of Brown, but of James Oglethorpe. The Daniel Chester French-designed statue was completed and placed in the square in 1910.

Chippewa Square is intersected by Hull, McDonough and Perry Streets, with Liberty Street running the southern boundary of the ward. The defining monument on the square is the Independent Presbyterian Church, which was built in 1817. What makes it unique is that it occupies tithing lots, rather than a trust lot. The square is anchored by at least two buildings of historical importance. One is the First Baptist Church, which was designed and built in 1833 with a later renovation in 1922. The other is the Philbrick-Eastman House, which was designed by Charles Cluskey in 1844. This home was owned and occupied by several prominent Savannah families, including the Hulls and the Barrows.

Other notable houses in the ward include 11 East Perry Street, built in 1820 for the Minis family. Its interesting history includes its use as a boarding house, occupied at one point by Joel Chandler Harris, who wrote the Uncle Remus stories and was editor of the Savannah newspaper. Other owners and residents included Christopher Murphy Jr., an important Savannah artist and print maker. Fifteen West Perry Street has been associated with the prominent Savannah merchant John Stoddard, but it was built by William Hunter around 1867 and owned by General Alexander Robert Lawton, who became President of the American Bar Association after serving as Quartermaster of the Confederacy during the Civil War.

These buildings include the birthplace of Juliette Gordon Low (founder of the Girl Scouts of the USA), the Georgia Historical Society (the oldest continually operating historical society in the South), the Telfair Academy of Arts and Sciences (one of the South's first public museums), the First African Baptist Church (one of the oldest African-American Baptist congregations in the United States), Temple Mickve Israel (the third-oldest synagogue in the U.S.), and the Central of Georgia Railway roundhouse complex (the oldest standing antebellum rail facility in the U.S.).

Savannah's downtown area, which includes the Savannah Historic District, the Savannah Victorian Historic District, and 22 park like squares, is one of the largest National Historic Landmark Districts in the United States (designated by the U.S. government in 1966). Downtown Savannah largely retains the original town plan prescribed by founder James Oglethorpe (a design now known as the Oglethorpe Plan). Savannah was the host city for the sailing competitions during the 1996 Summer Olympics held in Atlanta.

This beautiful park, conceived by Savannahian William B. Hodgson, and named for Governor John Forsyth when it was laid out in 1851, consists of 20 acres bordering the historic district, and bounded by Park Avenue, Drayton, Gaston, and Whitaker Streets. The main walkway is highlighted by the famous white fountain, erected in 1859 and restored in 1988 by the city and community residents. The park contains the Fragrant Garden for the Blind, a project of the Savannah Garden Clubs, and two large war memorials:

Confederate War Memorial

Spanish American War Memorial

Today, the lovely park is host to a variety of cultural events including the Savannah Symphony Picnic in the Park, the Savannah Jazz Festival, and the Savannah Shakespeare Festival.

Source: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wormsloe_Historic_Site

The Wormsloe Historic Site, informally known as Wormsloe Plantation, is a state historic site near Savannah, Georgia, in the southeastern United States. The site consists of 822 acres (3.33 km2) protecting part of what was once the Wormsloe Plantation, a large estate established by one of Georgia's colonial founders, Noble Jones (c. 1700-1775). The site includes a picturesque 1.5 miles (2.4 km) oak avenue, the ruins of Jones' fortified house built of tabby, a museum, and a demonstration area interpreting colonial daily life.

In 1736, Noble Jones obtained a grant for 500 acres (2.0 km2) of land on the Isle of Hope that would form the core of Wormsloe. He constructed a fortified house on the southeastern tip of the island overlooking the Skidaway Narrows, a strategic section of the Skidaway River located along the Intracoastal Waterway roughly halfway between downtown Savannah and the Atlantic Ocean. The fortified house was part of a network of defensive structures established by James Oglethorpe, founder of Georgia, and early Georgia colonists to protect Savannah from a potential Spanish invasion. Jones subsequently developed Wormsloe into a small plantation, and his descendants built a large mansion at the site which they used as a country residence.

The State of Georgia acquired the bulk of the Wormsloe Plantation in 1973 and opened it to the public as a state historic site in 1979.

Leopold’s Ice Cream was founded in 1919 by three brothers from Greece. They learned the art of candy and dessert making from an uncle who had already settled in America. George, Peter and Basil Leopold perfected their secret formulas and created the now world famous Leopold’s Ice Cream.
The brothers opened their ice cream parlor on the corner of Gwinnett and Habersham streets in Savannah, where two streetcar lines intersected. Many a rider would jump off the streetcar and entreat the motorman to wait as they got a frozen delight!

Generations of Savannahians have loved Leopold’s Ice Cream. Their soda fountain business was legendary! Locals still talk about the malts, milk shakes, black and white sodas and banana splits served by the soda jerks who worked at Leopold’s. Leopold’s ice cream and sherbet molds were a holiday highlight in Savannah’s finest clubs and the shop was always a popular destination after concerts, dances and high school sporting events.

Famed lyricist Johnny Mercer grew up a block away from Leopold’s and worked at the shop as a boy. Later, he was a faithful customer when he was home from Hollywood. He even told Peter that he would write a song about Leopold’s famous Tutti Frutti ice cream, which had become a Leopold’s hallmark and Savannah favorite.

Stratton Leopold, Peter’s youngest child, learned the art of making premium ice cream as a boy. Upon his father’s passing, Stratton took over the business continuing his family’s legacy. He later left Savannah to pursue his dream of working in Hollywood.

Today, Stratton is an active member of the Hollywood motion picture community, serving as Producer on films such as Mission Impossible 3, the Sum of All Fears, The General’s Daughter, Paycheck and Parker. Stratton has worked on many other blockbuster hits during his nearly 50 years in the film industry including The Big Chill and John Carpenter’s They Live. Props and posters from these films can be found in the shop today.

Though Stratton left Savannah to pursue his Hollywood dream, Leopold’s Ice Cream continued to be a Savannah tradition carried on by other members of the Leopold family. In the summer of 2004, Stratton and his wife, Mary, officially opened the new Broughton Street location. They continue their legendary family business proudly using many fixtures from the original store including the black marble soda fountain, wooden back bar and telephone booth. When Stratton is not on location with his latest film project, he can be found behind the soda fountain scooping ice cream and washing dishes, just like when he was a kid!

All of Leopold’s super-premium ice cream is hand crafted in historic downtown Savannah using the original, secret recipes and techniques handed down to Stratton by his father. Many of their toppings and ice cream ingredients and all of their sandwich meats and salads are prepared from scratch by a Leopold’s chef. Leopold’s Ice Cream is committed to serving the finest, freshest ice cream, soups and sandwiches in a family friendly environment with the best customer service possible!

We hope that Leopold’s will continue to work its way into the hearts of further generations, in Savannah and beyond. Here’s to another century years of Good Things to Eat! Good Things to Drink!

Laid out along Abercorn Street in 1837, Lafayette Square and Lafayette Ward were named for the Marquis de Lafayette, a Frenchman who served as Washington’s Aide de Camp during the American Revolution. Lafayette visited Savannah in 1825 and was highly regarded by the local citizens. He later dedicated the monument to Nathanael Greene in Johnson Square.

There are no monuments in Lafayette Square, but the National Society of Colonial Dames of America installed a fountain in 1983 to commemorate the 250th anniversary of the founding of the Georgia colony.

There are several historically and architecturally significant buildings on Lafayette Square.

On the Northwest corner of Abercorn and Charlton Streets is the elegant Andrew Low House built in 1849. After Andrew’s death, his widow, Juliette Gordon Low, founded the Girl Scouts of America on March 12, 1912, and she left the carriage house to the Savannah Girl Scouts. The carriage house at 330 Drayton Street, now houses a collection of Girl Scout memorabilia. This home is owned and preserved by the Colonial Dames of America in the State of Georgia. For more history on the Andrew Low House, click here.

On the south side of Charlton Street is an unusual West Indies-style home designed to have the main house entered from the piazza. Built in 1852, by Andrew Lows partner in the cotton business, William Battersby, this type of architecture is unique in Savannah, but often seen in Charleston.

The three-bay sidehall townhouse in the Greek revival style at 207 East Charlton was the childhood home of prize-winning author Flannery O’Connor.

The Hamilton-Turner House at 330 Abercorn, now a beautifully restored bed and breakfast, is one of the most beautiful homes in Savannah. Built in 1873 for Samuel Hamilton, the home reflects Second Empire baroque as well as Italianate architectural influences. For more history on the Hamilton-Turner House, click here.

The Cathedral of St. John Baptist located at Abercorn and Harris is the oldest Roman Catholic Church in Georgia. Rebuilt from the original design following a tragic fire in 1898, the church’s Gothic revival spires can be seen throughout the city. The church is the starting point for Savannah’s annual St. Patrick’s Day parade.
