About
Sons of Savannah's Historic District Walking Tour is a unique experience. You will see and learn about the most beautiful city in America through the eyes of a family who arrived in Georgia's early days, in 1750. As you visit the city's squares and monuments, you will learn how Georgia's first city emerged from obscurity nearly 300 years ago to become what it is today. Stories of growth, defeat, and restoration will illustrate how Savannah's history is tied to her people: From Oglethorpe and Tomochichi to Telfair and Mercer, you will learn how people have shaped Savannah from the beginning.
Our passion for Savannah is simple. It is born through our very personal connection with the city. Our family has called Savannah home since the early days of her existence. Our name is Sons of Savannah because that is what we are. For eleven generations we have lived our own history with Savannah as our home. We were here at the nation's birth, and when Sherman arrived. We stood by Savannah and remained when she fell into disrepair, and we have rejoiced as our birthplace has recovered her former majesty and reached her fullest potential. We love Savannah and want you to as well.
Sons of Savannah tours are engagingly hosted by master teacher and storyteller, John Breckenridge. You will hear unique stories of real people tied to the Sons of Savannah, who lived through Savannah's most triumphant and trying times: the Colonial Era, the Revolution, the Civil War, and Sherman's March, to name a few. You will make a new friend as John shares Savannah's story with you and his easy manner will ensure you feel at home while you walk with him in his.
Come walk with the Sons of Savannah. We are honored to have you.
