Savannah has been recognized as being a beautiful city in this country for hundreds of years. In the civil war General William Sherman burnt the cities and plantations of the South as he marched from the North to Atlanta to the ocean. Upon entering Savannah he wrote a famous letter to President Abraham Lincoln.
December 22, 1864
Savannah, Georgia

To his Excellency,
President Lincoln,

Dear Sir,
I beg to present you as a Christmas Gift, the City of Savannah with 150 guns and plenty of
ammunition; and also about 25,000 bales of Cotton.

W.T Sherman

A must see when visiting Savannah. Telfair is the oldest art museum in the South. The mansion in which the museum's collection is housed is neoclassical Regency style building. The mansion. The first owner was Alexander Telfair, son of Revolutionary patriot and Georgia governor Edward Telfair. The mansion served as home to the Telfair family until 1875. Mary Telfair, a patron of the arts, gave the house and its furnishings to the Georgia Historical Society to be opened as a museum.
