"Honoring an Irish hero" Top 5 Page for this destination Savannah Local Custom Tip by Pawtuxet

Savannah Local Customs: 18 reviews and 16 photos

 
 

Each of the city's 22 squares has its own identity and Madison Square is no exception. This city has a fine custom of honoring its history and here we see a memorial to an Irish Revolutionary war hero. Sgt. William Jasper's statue and plaque (both pictured here) are a dramatic accent to the shaded square along with some vintage cannons from the old Savannah Armory.
Madison Square is also where you will find the Sorrel-Weed house and the Gryphon Tea Room ( both of which are mentioned in other tips).
The Savannah College of Art and Design (SCAD) originally opened on this historic square.

Review Helpfulness: 4.5 out of 5 stars
