One of the first homes to be declared a state landmark, The Sorrel-Weed House is known for its striking Greek Revival architecture and haunted history.

Fun fact: It’s been said that during the Civil War, Union Soldiers changed the dates on the headstones and even moved some around!
Visit the house responsible for the creation of the Savannah Historic Foundation, the Davenport House. Saved from the wrecking ball in 1950, today guests can enjoy the ornate plaster work, elliptical staircase, and the brilliant style of the various rooms throughout.
