Savannah was establish in 1733 and is the oldest city in Georgia. Due to the age of this city there is a lot of history to be found here, including the Savannah Theatre (pictured on the left). It initially opened its doors in 1818, making it one of the oldest theatres in the United States.
Although the size and shape of the theatre has changed several times throughout its history due to fire damage or renovations to modernize it, the spirt of the original theater still exists today and is considered an important part of the city to so many residents. In our opinion, one of the reasons why the theater still exhibits its historical significance in this area is because the city of Savannah has done a remarkable job preserving and maintaining that "old time" feel with the architecture and original city layout. |
