Washington Square

Washington Square, laid out in 1790 and named in honor of George Washington, offers a quiet, tree-shaded retreat just steps from Savannah’s bustling riverfront. Surrounded by historic homes and charming inns, the square features a central fountain and beautifully landscaped gardens that reflect the city’s colonial elegance. Once the site of the Trustees’ Garden, Savannah’s original experimental garden, Washington Square remains a serene and historically rich destination for visitors seeking a slower pace and a deeper connection to the city’s roots.
