Parque Forsyth
Bueno, gente, prepárense para un soplo de aire fresco y un festín para la vista, porque un poco más adelante llegamos al Parque Forsyth, la joya de la corona de los espacios verdes de Savannah. Este magnífico parque de 30 acres no es solo un lugar bonito; es la sala de estar de la ciudad, su patio de juegos y su corazón histórico, todo en una sola y extensa área.

La historia del parque se remonta a la década de 1840, cuando fue designado por primera vez y luego ampliado en 1851 a su tamaño actual. Fue nombrado en honor al gobernador John Forsyth, quien sirvió a Georgia en la década de 1830. Pero seamos honestos, cuando piensas en el Parque Forsyth, una imagen se te viene inmediatamente a la mente: esa impresionante e icónica fuente. Instalada en 1858, esta belleza de hierro fundido, pintada de un verde llamativo, es una de las tres fuentes idénticas encargadas originalmente de un catálogo de Nueva York (las otras dos están en Perú y Nueva York). Se dice que su diseño está inspirado en las fuentes de la Place de la Concorde en París, aportando un toque de grandeza europea a nuestro encanto sureño. Es prácticamente un rito de paso para cada visitante y local por igual sacarse una foto frente a ella.

Más allá de la fuente, el parque ofrece caminos sombreados para pasear, un Monumento Confederado erigido en 1879, una gran área de juegos infantiles e incluso un jardín fragante diseñado para personas con discapacidad visual. Cualquier día, podrías ver a gente de picnic, corredores haciendo sus kilómetros o artistas capturando la escena. Los fines de semana a menudo traen mercados de agricultores, festivales y conciertos, consolidando verdaderamente su papel como el punto de encuentro central de la ciudad. Es un testimonio del aprecio duradero de Savannah por la belleza y la comunidad, un lugar donde la historia simplemente se desenvuelve bajo un dosel de robles centenarios.

Giren a la izquierda en la calle Gaston cuando lleguen al final del parque.

POI 2 Tour Image
Mansión Armstrong-Kessler
Prepárense para girar a la derecha en la calle Barnard, pero primero, miren justo después del paso de cebra a la derecha. La Mansión Armstrong Kessler es una de las casas históricas más impresionantes de Savannah, una gran propiedad de estilo neorrenacentista italiano construida entre 1917 y 1919 para el magnate naviero George Ferguson Armstrong. Diseñada por el arquitecto Henrik Wallin, la mansión abarca casi 26,000 pies cuadrados y cuenta con elegantes terrazas de granito, detalles ornamentados de bronce y acero, y jardines bellamente diseñados con vistas al Parque Forsyth. Su escala y su artesanía la hacen sobresalir a lo largo de este tramo histórico de la ciudad. A lo largo de las décadas, la mansión ha tenido muchas vidas. Comenzó como una residencia privada, más tarde sirvió como parte del Armstrong Junior College, y finalmente albergó oficinas de abogados antes de ser cuidadosamente restaurada. Hoy, la propiedad ha recuperado su elegancia original, preservando su grandeza arquitectónica mientras se adapta a un uso moderno. Aunque no está abierta para visitas diarias, la Mansión Armstrong Kessler ahora funciona como un lugar exclusivo para eventos, ofreciendo una visión poco común del lujo de la Edad Dorada de Savannah y el rico legado arquitectónico de la ciudad.
