The gaslight glow of Bull Street slips past your shoulder as you press play and step into a city that remembers—every brick, square, and iron gate keeping a quiet watch. Start at the Mercer-Williams House, headphones on, and the narration pulls you along oak-lined avenues where Spanish moss drapes like a slow-moving tide and the Savannah River seems to whisper of arrivals and departures. The voice guides you past mansions, cemetery stones and hidden alleys; the city’s architecture becomes a storyteller.
