We also drove by Tybee lighthouse and Fort Pulaski.

My husband & I planned an anniversary trip to Beaufort and stayed at the Best Western across from the park because we thought it would be lovely to walk by the water at night. After dinner, we walked down to the park and were very surprised by a tall, chain link fence in front of the entire walkway saying no one was permitted! Not to mention the homeless people all over the benches in the very poorly lit area. To add to it, there is a lot of road work being done on many of the streets here and there are large fences also blocking entire roads off. And the smell of trash is strong while walking around the area. Like so many small towns that used to be nice, looks like politicians have ruined this one too.

Located in Beaufort, SC, the Reconstruction Era National Historical Park is quite possibly one of…read morethe smallest historical parks under the jurisdiction of the National Parks Service. It's said to be spread out over 3 distinct sites in Beaufort County, but the main visitor center is housed in a single small brick building (formerly a firehouse) with several exhibits and is free of charge to visit. It's supposed to be open daily, but may be closed at random during a government shutdown, as was the case when I stopped by for a quick visit. Since it was closed, I only got to admire the brick exterior and a few placards placed out front. As I was already visiting Beaufort on a day trip, I wasn't overly disappointed, but may have been if I had made a trip from out of town to visit only to find it closed. If you are interested in history of the reconstruction era and find yourself in this part of South Carolina north of Savannah and Hilton Head, this small historic park might be worth a quick stop.

Crawford Square is also apparently the only square in all of historic Savannah which contains a recreational component --- specifically it has a basketball court. According to the marker at the site there was a competition between different neighborhoods which Crawford Square won and its reward was the installation of the basketball court. Sweet! Maybe the next time I'm in Savannah I'll organize myself a game.

Impressive Square in Savannah…read more According to our city tour guide Madison Square in Savannah (not in NYC) was where the bloodiest hour of the American Revolution took place. It was in this location, that during the Battle of Savannah, that many soldiers fell in battle. It was said that dead soldiers bodies were thrown into mass graves here but not all of the men who were thrown into the grave were dead (yet). They may have been badly wounded, with death imminent but how horrible that these soldiers must've felt being buried alive. Hence, haunted!! The most common ghost seen in Madison Square is a solid black shadow figure. It is said to have the shape of a full-grown man. A bronze monument of Sergeant William Jasper, an American soldier in the Revolutionary War, stands tall to honor the sergeant. Sgt. Jasper died during the Siege of Savannah on October 9, 1779. My hubby loves paranormal stuff and some of the haunted homes around Madison Square really piqued his interest like the Sorrel-Weed House - this home is said to be one of the most haunted houses in the entire city. We did a mansion tour inside on our first evening here in Savannah. When we had signed up for the Sorrel-Weed House ghost tour we thought that the meeting place was here in Madison Square. That's how we ended seeing this square. Another historic place is the The Green-Meldrim House - this is where General Sherman stayed during the occupation of Savannah and headquartered his confederate troops here. Other buildings on Madison Square is the St. John's Episcopal Church. Review #1854
