Savannah Bed and Breakfast Georgia Ballastone Inn Activities

Local Attraction

Travel expert Arthur Frommer ( Frommer's Travel ) once said, "Tourism does not go to a city that has lost its soul." Savannah ... on the Georgia Coast ... is thriving. The Ballastone bed and breakfast is pleased to be at the heart of this beautiful historic city of Savannah Georgia ... a thriving metropolis with a noble heart ... and filled with charm, grace and beauty. It's perfect for a Savannah Georgia Vacation. Savannah was the first city in the Georgia colony. With the rise of the cotton trade, the Port of Savannah became an important commercial center, making Savannah wealthy. The 2.2-square mile Historic District is one of the largest urban Landmark Districts in the nation and features the most valuable collection of 18th and 19th century architecture. The historic buildings and this Georgia Coast Inn reflect the art, economy, and architecture of mostly pre-Civil War Savannah and the Georgia coast.

Attractions:

Historic Savannah District: Modern in its outlook, the oldest city on Georgia's coast retains its charm and grace with stately mansions, cobblestone streets, impeccably kept gardens, and tree-shaded avenues and this Georgia Coast Inn. More than 1,400 buildings have been restored in the 24 original tree-lined "squares," or parks, which General Sherman found too enchantingly beautiful to burn. The Savannah National Historic Landmark District contains resplendently restored historic churches, homes, libraries, an art school, and historical society.
