You step out of the parking garage at 7 Whitaker Street with a charged phone and a map of squares in your head. Morning light slants across cobblestones; the Savannah River calls from the bluff and the live oaks shade the path, their limbs whispering over the squares. The scavenger hunt pulls you through alleys, past monuments and cafés, turning familiar streets into a series of small mysteries to solve.

Savannah was planned in 1733 on a grid of public squares by James Oglethorpe; many buildings reflect colonial and antebellum eras tied to maritime trade.
