Tours
From the ghost tour
This building has pretty much been abandoned because weird things happen whenever businesses have tried to move in. Reason possibly being it was originally a wood house that burnt and the family died inside.
The Foley Inn was originally owned by a lady who had lost her husband which gave her reason to turn it into a boarding house. Two men fell for her, one of which was a rich man with a gambling problem whose family was getting ready to cut him off and a carpenter who was staying in the boarding house because his home had been damaged in a storm. One night the first one crept into Ms Foley's room and not being able to see she cracked him over the head with a candlestick or something. Well he died and the other gentleman helped her hide the body. Later the body was found in a wall.
The owner of this home was having an affair with the maid and his wife upon finding them in the carriage house walked back to the house and jumped from the balcony on the courtyard. Later the maid was hung in the carriage house to make it look like a suicide.

During our tour of the Juliette Gordon Low House we picked up a book that is a safari tour of Savannah.
There are frogs and other animals hidden everywhere.
These lions are on the front of the Andrew Low house where Juliette lived after she married his son.
No animals here but some great details
Then we took a carriage tour which was a lot of fun and very educational. Got some very interesting stories from it.

We took tour 3 because we had already seen a lot of what was on the other tours.
