I will have to take a guided tour of Savannah the next time.

I personally love the Old Capital Building in Milledgeville. It's like a cross between a Gothic cathedral and a fortress. It's a wonderful piece of architecture.<br /><br />Milledgeville was the epicenter of the Clark-Troup political feud. There's a historical marker on one of the streets there indicating where future Governor John Clark horse-whipped Superior Court Judge Charles Tait.<br /><br />https://georgiainfo.galileo.usg.edu/topics/historical_markers/county/baldwin/troup-clarke-political-feud<br /><br />Next time you're in Savannah, make sure to visit The Pirates' House. It's the oldest building in Georgia, and a place where actual pirates used to hang out in the 1700s.<br /><br />https://thepirateshouse.com/Jeff Tanyardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11414142510996295518noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6221151616674180073.post-29027992016010789892019-08-23T14:48:00.583-04:002019-08-23T14:48:00.583-04:00Very intriguing.

Charleston, where so many homes are preserved and on the historical register. I have yet to discover all its riches. And this pilgrimage was such a gift. So thankful to God for not only the good man but for the time we've have together. I am acutely aware that our next breath is not guaranteed. I shall die happy.

Not many such on our side of the country, but I regularly did these tours when I used to visit my mother in New England.Mirka Breenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00653086859905415156noreply@blogger.com
