9.Owens-Thomas House - check their calendar page for events!
English Regency-style house museum circa 1811–1820, with parterre garden & original slave quarters.
"Just gorgeous! The house is beautifully preserved and was impressive even when it was newly built: intricate plasterwork, trompe l'oeil on virtually every surface, curved walls and doors throughout the house. The guided tour was lovely. We went to the last tour of the day and we mostly had the house to ourselves. I was pleased that attention was paid to the enslaved occupants of the house as much as possible; the tour guide took care to use their names when they were known, and there is a small exhibit in the old slave quarters/carriage house about African Americans in Savannah."

Oldest Roman Catholic Church in Georgia. Gorgeous. French Catholic émigrés established Savannah’s first parish, called the Congrégation de Saint Jean-Baptiste, shortly before the end of the 18th century.
