The Georgia Historical Society, founded May 24, 1839, is one of the oldest historical societies in the country. Among it founders were L.K. Tefft, the noted autograph collector; William Bacon Stevens, historian, physician and prelate, and Dr. Richard D. Arnold, who as Mayor of Savannah, formally surrendered the City to General Sherman in 1864.

The Presidents of the Society have included John Macpherson Berrien, Attorney General under President Jackson and United States Senator; James M. Wayne, Associate Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States; and Henry R. Jackson, jurist, soldier, diplomat and poet.

Hodgson Hall, the home of the Society, is a repository for books, newspapers and manuscripts relating to the history of Georgia. Dedicated in 1876, the building was a gift of Margaret Telfair Hodgson and Mary Telfair as a memorial to William Brown Hodgson, the distinguished scholar of Oriental languages and United States Dragoman and Consul to the Barbary States and Turkey.

ANDAZ SAVANNAH, BY HYATT

10/10 Excellent

"Great location. Beautiful, clean room. Wonderful staff and amenities"

Fairfield Inn & Suites Savannah Downtown/Historic District

10/10 Excellent

"Great location if you want to explore the RiverWalk area of Downtown. The room was very spacious and clean. The hotel was clean. The breakfast always included eggs, meat, and waffles. There was oatmeal and bread/bagels available."

Residence Inn by Marriott Savannah Downtown/Historic Distric

10/10 Excellent

"Nice stay. Room was clean and spacious for us and our pet. Complimentary breakfast was better than most. Parking is limited unless you go valet. The hotel shares property with gas station a which was nice to grab snacks and drinks. But also a questionable crowd of people sometimes there. Is a bit of a walk to river st about 20min. Limited food selections nearby we door dashed both nights due to only one walkable restaurant nearby (cuban) plus we had a pet so no outdoor options within 5min walk except for Wendy's. But overall nice stay was not disappointed. "
