What To Expect

Madison Square

Beneath the quiet charm of Madison Square lies a battlefield of memory. Flanked by statues and historic homes, this square was once a hub of Civil War activity. At this stop, we’ll uncover the stories of Confederate generals, local resistance, and the Union occupation that reshaped Savannah’s streets. As you sip your drink nearby, you'll hear how Madison Square became a silent witness to strategy, sacrifice, and Southern defiance—a perfect blend of beauty and bloodshed in the heart of the city.

Johnson Square

As Savannah’s oldest and most prominent square, Johnson Square was a center of commerce, communication, and Civil War-era decision-making. At this stop, we’ll explore how the city’s elite gathered here—debating secession, funding the Confederacy, and shaping Savannah’s role in the conflict. Surrounded by monuments and whispers of the past, you’ll sip your drink where bankers, generals, and Southern strategists once shaped the fate of a divided nation.

Ellis Square

Today, Ellis Square is a bustling social hub—but during the Civil War, it was a vital center for commerce, supplies, and auctions that helped fuel the Southern war effort. At this stop, we’ll explore the square’s darker past, its role in the Confederate economy, and how it transformed under Union occupation. With a drink in hand, you’ll stand where soldiers once marched and merchants once profited—a place where war and daily life collided in the heart of Savannah.
