Starting Thursday, March 26, Savannah will open it's doors for a four day peek into the grand homes and elaborate gardens from it's well manicured historic district. Each day will focus on a different area and time in Savannah's rich history. People will take self guided pre-planned tours through the historic district and enter these homes that are not usually open to the public.You will see homes that were built just before the War of 1812, others constructed during the Antebellum period and finally you will be able to peer into Victorian mansions.
Other tours that are offered are more specialized, such as; John Norris, who designed many homes before the start of the Civil War, a gardener's tour, tour of Bonaventure Cemetery and a tour of Christ Church. In addition there will many seminars, topics included; Preserving a City, Antique Silver, Antique Furniture, Pearls, Creating and Restoring Furniture, and Container Gardening.
There is a lot going on, especially with food samplings and receptions at the close of each day's learning experience or adventure. Believe me, nobody will be able to attend all of these events, conflicting times and the ticket prices will start to balloon if you are not careful. My advice, put yourself on a budget each day and attend a program that you think you might find very rewarding. Remember if you decide you would like to purchase a historic home, I am your guy!
I am posting a link below, so you can see what is being offered over the next four days. This event keeps growing every year. Enjoy. BRING YOUR CAMERA!
