The Squares of Savannah

Anyone who has seen the movie “Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil” won’t be disappointed with the real thing. The original four Savannah open squares were laid out starting in 1769 and originally intended to provide colonists space for military excercises. Luckily the plan anticipated growth in the city and has expanded into the twenty four today. Most of Savannah’s squares are named in honor or in memory of a person or persons of interest or historical event and many contain tributes, including monuments, markers, statues and plaques.
