This tour is led by a former National Park Service Ranger who served on Civil War Battlefields! This is Savannah's only tour focusing solely on the Civil War. We'll begin with the Secession movement and its local leaders. We'll then progress through the war itself, making stops at sites that still exist to this day. The tour will continue with General Sherman's occupation of Savannah, and we'll tie it up with the immediate aftermath of the war on Savannah.
