An architectural stroll in Savannah
"TO those visiting Savannah, Ga., we recommend a 60- to 90-minute architectural and cultural walking tour of the historic district with local architect Jonathan Stalcup.
He conducts three different tours, and we took the Colonial to Contemporary tour. It is a personalized, leisurely walk on shaded streets with just enough information and no unanswered questions. Also available are the King Cotton tour, targeting 19th century antebellum and Victorian structures, parks and the riverside marketplace, and the after-dark Lit City tour examining pre- and post-electricity building designs and the creative use of light in buildings of various ages."
$20, students $10, 6-12 $5, under 6 free. Tour times 10 a.m., 1 p.m. and 5 p.m. (times are flexible).
