The tour begins under a dim lantern on Oglethorpe Square, where Live Oaks lean over brick walkways and the hush of midnight thickens around iron gates. Guides—lanterns swinging—move a small crowd through narrow lanes and past shuttered homes, each doorway a stop in a city that has kept its past close to the street.
