Savannah Historic Square Walk With Cannons and Revival Facades
Read the history signs, then step over to the art museum and bookstore beside this 1837 square on Bull Street.
🏛️ History at Walking Pace
Madison Square gives a walk through central Savannah a sharp historical focus. Historic cannons and a prominent monument anchor the grounds, with Greek and Gothic Revival architecture around the square. Start with the details that catch your eye, then step closer to the informational signs for the local history behind the setting. This is a stop for looking slowly rather than hurrying past another landmark.
Laid out in 1837 and named for President James Madison, the square straddles Bull Street in the Historic District. An art museum and bookstore sit directly alongside, keeping cultural stops close at hand when you feel like extending the outing. Pause to read, take a seat, or continue exploring the surrounding blocks at your own pace.
The grounds remain open 24 hours every day, Monday through Sunday. Leave room in your route for an unhurried stop, with time to look beyond the next street corner.
