Morning light spills across brick and live oak, Spanish moss brushing the air like a slow-moving curtain. Start at Johnson Square beneath the obelisk, and the city falls into a measured rhythm: a square every few blocks, each green pocket holding a piece of Savannah's layered past.

Morning light spills across brick and live oak, Spanish moss brushing the air like a slow-moving curtain. Start at Johnson Square beneath the obelisk, and the city falls into a measured rhythm: a square every few blocks, each green pocket holding a piece of Savannah's layered past.
Founded in 1733 by James Oglethorpe, Savannah sits on the Atlantic Coastal Plain where tidal rivers and marshes shaped settlement and commerce. The Old Squares trace that history — from Tomochichi’s marker in Wright Square to the elegant facades of the Owens-Thomas House and the Telfair Museum’s stately steps. You’ll pass sites tied to the Girl Scouts’ founder Juliette Gordon Low and the bench-in-scene at Chippewa Square from Forest Gump. Architecture here is brick and iron, stories scored by colonial grids and 19th-century wealth; the river quietly reminded the city of its trade and tides.
The WalknTours app guides you at your own pace, narrating each stop so you can linger at museums or duck into cafés. Expect about an hour on foot without stops; add time to explore interiors, shops, or a long lunch. Wear comfortable shoes for mixed brick, cobble and sidewalks, carry water, and keep your phone charged — the tour is mobile-dependent.
Best times are early morning or late afternoon when squares cool and light softens masonry. Watch for traffic at crosswalks; many squares open directly onto streets. This is urban walking with a living-history edge: sensory, steady, and entirely on your schedule.
