Stand on the north edge of Forsyth Park and the city stretches north along Bull Street like a slow-moving procession of bricks, live oaks and porches that still remember earlier lives. The two-hour walk follows the spine of Savannah’s original Oglethorpe Plan, moving through Wright, Chippewa, Madison and Monterey squares while the river and the city’s low coastal plain watch quietly from the periphery.
Bull Street takes its name from Colonel William Bull, an early surveyor whose lines helped shape Savannah’s grid. The route reveals layers: 18th- and 19th-century town planning, Italian Renaissance Revival mansions, and modest townhouses that speak to different economic eras. Chippewa Square shows up on film; nearby Gothic churches and civic architecture trace Savannah’s civic life from colonial port to modern tourist city.
Geology here is gentle — sandy soils, tidal creeks and a flat elevation that made the grid practical and kept the city close to the river’s commerce. Culture is public and visual: statues, memorials, and deliberately spaced squares designed for community use.
Practical guidance: expect two miles of mostly paved sidewalks, frequent stops for interpretation, and some uneven brick. The tour is wheelchair-accessible but notify organizers if mobility help is needed. Go early or late in summer to avoid heat, carry water, and wear supportive shoes; bring a camera and small bills for coffee stops.
This walk is a compact, precise way to read Savannah’s history from street level — architectural details, civic planning, and the quiet resilience of a coastal city that keeps showing up for its past.
