Next, we walked across the yard to the Savannah History Museum which showcases the city's history from1733 to the present.
It is located in the old Central of Georgia passenger shed whose construction began in the 1850s and was completed in the 1870s. It is home to more than 10,000artifacts including Johnny Mercer's Oscar and Grammy awards and the bench made famous by Forrest Gump sitting on it in the movie of the same name.
Of course, there is a lot to do with Savannah during the American Revolution and the Battle of Savannah in which the British defeated attacking American/French forces and resulted in the death of Casimir Pulaski. And, of course, Savannah's role in the Civil War.
Also on the grounds is the rebuilt British fortifications at Spring Hill.
After leaving Savannah, I went with Julie as she made her rounds feeding various feral cat colonies around Pooler.
