Although the lone figure of a proud yet beaten soldier stands atop this monument, it is truly a memorial to the hundreds of thousands of soldiers who gave their lives for the lost cause of the Confederate States. From about 1866 to 1872, women of the former Confederate states formed memorial associations in order to take responsibility for the decent and permanent interment of slain Confederate soldiers in cemeteries, where possible, and institutionalized annual memorial services, which consisted of decorating the graves with flowers....morecollapse

                                    Come create or view chalk art masterpieces on the sidewalks of Forsyth Park during SCAD's annual Sidewalk Arts Festival. The popular event, free and open to the public, features a chalk art competition, children's drawing areas for young artists, and food, drinks and music. Next event 4/27/2013. Forsyth Park is a 30 acre green space located in downtown Savannah. It was originally created in the 1840s on 10 acres of land donated by William Hodgson. In 1851, the park was expanded and named for Georgia Governor John Forsyth. By 1853, all original planned wards of Savannah were occupied and a large public park was added to the extreme south end of the city plan. This park was anticipated by General James Oglethorpe's plan and was made possible by a donation of 20 acres of land owned by Forsyth. The fountain at the north end of Forsyth Park was added in 1858 and is reminiscent of fountains in the Place de la Concorde in Paris and in Cuzco, Peru. At this time, Parisian urban planning was centered on the development of residential neighborhoods radiating out from a central green space. The Parisian model of developing large city parks was emulated by large cities in the United States, with even smaller cities, such as Savannah, asserting their own cosmopolitan image. Every St.Patricks Day the fountain is ceremoniously turned green in celebration of the Savannah's deep Irish heritage....morecollapse

                                    A wonderful stay that was close to the Mansion and many wonderful places about Forseyth Park. The stairs were not a concern for us but might be for those who need assistance. Very comfortable and safe. I would not hesitate to book again if in the area.

                                    Forsyth on the Green was the perfect spot for a family vacation. We had 2 little girls who could have stayed at the playground in the beautiful park across the street the whole time. There are some fine restaurants near the condo, but we enjoyed strolling along the beautiful streets in the evening when going out for an evening meal. We felt quite safe here, and there was plenty of room for all of us to spread out. The balcony overlooking the park is a great place to relax while enjoying the outside. Mark is very professional and he was extremely helpful in every way.

                                    Owner response: Totally agreed; a stroll through Forsyth Park and heading north on Bull Street is an unforgettable time travel experience to an earlier, simpler time. We hope to see you again!

                                    The condo was nice, I think it could have been a little better. But the location was perfect. It was right across from Forsyth Park and walking distance to EVERYTHING!! We toured for two days just walking around and went to Riverfront.. Savannah is awesome and we will be back and would like to stay in the condo again. Thank you Mark,,

Based on your feedback we'll be providing our future guests with a gate key to enable access to exterior rear staircase. As you noted, these stairs are wider and less steep than the front interior stairwell which can be useful for bringing up luggage. We look forward to your next visit!

                                    This condo was absolutely perfect for my bachelorette party weekend. There were 6 girls total, and we had plenty of space. The location was ideal - it was less than one mile from town, so we did not have to drive anywhere. The few times we took a cab, the total ended up being between $6-$10, very reasonable. The beds were comfortable, and there were plenty of linens. The bathrooms were nice, and the kitchen was very modern and up to date. Additionally, Mark was very easy to work with. The only complaint I would have is that there is only one shower; the other bathroom has just a bathtub. By the time we all finished showering in the morning, there wasn't much hot water left. Also, be sure to wear shoes! The older wood floors, though beautiful, may cause splinters. This was an incredible vacation and my friends and I loved every moment we spent in this condo.

Fantastic location and the home had everything we needed and then some. The owner was very helpful, making sure that everything was just right. We would stay here again in a heartbeat!

                                    The accommodations were great. We had everything we needed for a fantastic weekend. The condo is very close to the local grocery store and the kitchen is well-stocked for dining in. Plenty shops and restaurants within walking distance. And, being directly across the street from Forsyth Park was the best! Plenty of room for four adults and two children. Hope to book again!

                                    Wow! This place gave us everything. We were close to our competition at the Civic Center, but the room to spread out for all the girls and their mothers. It was up-to-date, but had so much charm that the girls slept well and giggled like little girls the next day. All you could want for amenities, but the room and silence the older females wanted. Safe and secure, enough parking for three cars-quiet at night and totally within the budget of working mothers. Thank you.

                                    Recommended for: Age 55+, families with teenagers, girls getaway, families with young children, sightseeing, tourists without a car.

                                    Great place to stay, lots of room. 3rd story walk-up is for the strong. A long walk or short ride to Riverfront. Was surprised at how the food was at the Pirate House. We would recommend this place

                                    Recommended for: Families with teenagers, adventure seekers.

                                    Owner response: I am so glad you enjoyed your stay! Savannah is such a treat. The front stairs are part of our exercise program. *grin* The sense of privacy on the third floor, especially the front porch, is what makes the Forsyth on the Green experience unique. It is amazing that people rarely look up as they pass through Forsyth Park. The DOT express is the quick free ride to River Street. A stroll down Bull Street is the scenic route.

                                  My wife and I LOVE the location! We originally purchased this property as a downtown location for our college age children. We were looking for a property directly on Forsyth Park, a large city park that occupies 30 acres.

                                  The Unique Benefits at this Condo:
                                  Forsyth is Savannah's own Central Park and the site of numerous year-round festivites and events. The convenience of the property to Forsyth Park cannot be overstated. This is an ideal location for weddings in the park. Its wonderful to see the joggers, soccer games, ultimate frisbee and other outdoor activities associated to a large green space. It is within eash walking distance to local restuarants and attractions.
