I Also enjoy the Celtic Cross downtown. Too bad they dont have the bench from Forest Gump located where the movie was shot. Have fun The Haitian Memorial Monument taught me something new in Savannah.

I enjoy the incredible number of markers I encounter... lots to read. I picked-up the Civil War guide and it gave me some additional information where signs didn't tell a story. For one, there is the location of Bartow's House... which, by the way, is for sale. Still need to make it over to Forsyth Park.

The bad news (for a marker hunter looking for tallies) is one of our best contributors at HMDB has cataloged most of them. Madison Square (who said Jasper?), is a great intersection of history. You've got the old Washington Guards Armory (yet another Washington Artillery!), the Sorel-Weed House (yes Moxley Sorel), and the Green-Meldrim House (where Uncle Billy stayed). I\'d forgotten all the 1st Manassas connections. However, the <a href="http://www.hmdb.org/marker.asp?marker=593" rel="nofollow">Bartow monument</a> entry in HMDB has links back to the <a href="http://www.hmdb.org/marker.asp?marker=11363" rel="nofollow">memorial</a> in Savannah. I can also give you some background info on the military aspects of Fort Pulaski. One of the \"often overlooked\" sites are the Endicott era guns placed near Fort Pulaski (not those on Tybee Island). I still think one of the "neatest" memorial in Savannah is the <a href="http://www.hmdb.org/Marker.asp?Marker=10589" rel="nofollow">Span-Am memorial</a> in Forsyth Park Well Robert, the good news is that Savannah is proud of its history, seemingly with more historical markers per square mile than any other town in Georgia!
