Did you know there is meaning behind the fish downspouts in Savannah? The idea behind these spouts stemmed from the Gullah/Geechee belief that evil spirits cannot cross water. The spouts signify that water indeed is present so negative spirits best turn back to where they came from!

On this day in 1820, the William Scarbrough house breathed a sigh of relief as there was a terrible fire only a block away the night before.

On January 11, 1820, between one and two in the morning, a fire started in Boone's livery stable behind Pratt's Boarding House on Johnson Square.
Spurred on by high winds and a two to three-month lack of rain, it would spread from Bay to Broughton and from Jefferson to Abercorn, consuming numerous small businesses. The United States Bank, the Mercantile House of Andrew Low and Company, and the City Market were some of the casualties.

The fire would not burn out until 2 PM the next day near present-day Franklin Square. The damage was valued at $5,000,000 dollars ($135,338,633 in today's dollars.)

This is not the first time the Scarbrough house would be spared a fiery doom, but that's a story for another day! We are thankful that our beautiful home has been watched over from above.

Thanks to our interpreter, Bobby Hughes, for giving us this information and map!

In honor of December 7th 1941 I’m reposting a story I wrote a few years ago. Sadly December 7 has become just another date in history for many.

BC Honors WWII Veterans and George K. Gannam '38

It is a solemn, annual tradition that has additional meaning this year. Each year, on Pearl Harbor Day, December 7, the Benedictine Cadets have honored those who fought in WWII, including BC Alumnus SSG George K. Gannam, the first Savannahian killed at Pearl Harbor.

The memorial ceremony included the reading of the plaque’s inscription and calling out the name of each of the Cadets who died during the war. A bell was rung after each name was called. Veteran’s Council and Veteran of the Year Joseph L. Conners (BC ’49) laid a wreath at the foot of the WWII Memorial pedestal.

After Taps was played, the Brigade reassembled on the parade field for Gannam Day Review. The Gannam Day Review honors the first Savannahian killed at Pearl Harbor, SSG Gannam (BC ’38) and is a tribute to all military service members who gave their lives in service to our country. SSG Gannam was cut down by strafing fire as he raced to protect the aircraft in the hangars at Hickham Field

When news of his death reached the States, the Savannah Morning News carried the story.......The war truly hit home two days later when a four-deck headline informed readers a local boy had been killed in the bombing:

Sgt. G.K. Gannam killed in Hawaii
He becomes Savannah's first fatality of the war
Parents were notified
Several Savannahians in war area are safe.

Our Story

Since moving to Savannah in 1991 I have been captured by Savannah's beauty charm and history. Over the years, I have come to know the city as a truly magical place to live and work. The combination of history, culture, ambiance, and pace are unmatched by any city I have ever lived in. Truly, we live in a city where our past surrounds us every day. Where people take pride and care of its historic neighborhoods and buildings. If you spend anytime at all walking around the city you soon discover its wonderful examples of architecture from a variety of periods. You also begin to discover the unique history of each of our city's 22 squares and the structures that surround them...Each square tells just part of the story of Savannah. As you walk down River Street; you can picture the days when there were Tall Ships and Steam ships tied up to its moorings, loading and unloading cargo. As you get to know the city, you begin to read and hear of the stories of Savannah's past. some true and some based on truth. We live in a city where George Washington honored it for its part in the Revolutionary War. Where Lafayette stayed on his tour of America, after the war. Where Woodrow Wilson got married and Teddy Roosevelt came to inspect the troops as they disembarked from the Savannah River to charge up San Juan Hill. Where architects such as John Jay did some of their most important work; and why authors such as Robert Louis Stephenson, and John Berendt found their inspiration to write in our fair city. I started this page several years ago to prepare for a local magazine a friend of mine and I were going to start. That never happened, but i was excited to see so many people liming the stories I posted. Starting tours with the same name and purpose seemed my next logical step. It is my hope that our tours will make Savannah come alive for our visitors and locals alike.
