Exploring history and mystery
Last week, Brookwood School’s fifth grade students ventured to the historic city of Savannah, Ga. Over the course of three days, they immersed themselves in Savannah’s stories, legends, and landmarks.
Their trip began at Fort McAllister, a well-preserved Civil War fortress nestled along the banks of the Ogeechee River. Here, students learned about the strategic importance of the fort during the Civil War.
Next on the itinerary was a visit to the Massie Heritage Center, where students gained a deeper understanding of Savannah's pivotal moments and diverse cultural heritage.
As dusk settled over the city, students embarked on a spine-tingling ghost tour. From the eerie tales of the
Mercer-Williams House to the ghostly apparitions at Colonial Park Cemetery, every step brought them closer to Savannah's haunted past.
The following day, students embarked on a Civil War walking tour, tracing the footsteps of soldiers and civilians alike through Savannah's historic district.
Their journey through time continued with a visit to Fort Pulaski, a formidable fortress that witnessed some of the Civil War's most pivotal battles, and a trip to Wormsloe Plantation.
Finally, the trip concluded with a visit to the First African Baptist Church.
