The Forsyth Park Fountain isn’t just a beautiful centerpiece of Savannah - it’s a piece of living history. Installed in 1858, it was inspired by the grand fountains of Paris, designed to bring elegance to Savannah’s largest public park. But like so much in Savannah, the beauty of Forsyth Park holds deeper, darker stories.
Over the decades, the fountain has become a silent witness to Savannah’s complex past. Its waters have seen the city evolve, from its post-colonial roots to its Civil War scars, and into its modern haunted reputation. Some say the spirits of the past linger near the fountain’s edge, tied to the eerie energy that flows through Savannah’s historic streets.
This design, ‘Dead of Night’, is a tribute not just to the fountain itself, but also to our most popular Savannah tour. The Dead of Night Tour takes you deep into the city’s haunted heart, visiting landmarks like Forsyth Park while uncovering the chilling tales that make Savannah the most haunted city in America.
So next time you find yourself standing before this iconic fountain, remember: every drop of water carries a story, and not all of them are from the living.
