Take a journey through history on Georgia’s oldest thoroughfare, Bull Street. From Forsyth Park to the Savannah City Hall and back. Bull Street serves as one of the city's primary historic and cultural thoroughfares. It extends from the northernmost end at City Hall, near the Savannah River, to the southern end at Forsyth Park. The street is named after Colonel William Bull, an early settler and surveyor who assisted in designing the original layout of Savannah, known as the Oglethorpe Plan. Bull Street forms the central axis of Savannah's grid-like design, showcasing the city's unique layout with public squares at regular intervals. It passes through some of Savannah's most iconic squares, such as Wright Square, Chippewa Square (famous for its appearance in Forrest Gump), and Monterey Square. Architecture and Landmarks: The street is lined with historic homes, churches, and monuments, offering a glimpse into Savannah's architectural legacy.

Q&A

Q: Is there an age limit for kids on this tour?

A: There's no strict age limit for the Positively Bull Street tour, but it’s best for kids who can handle walking for about 2 hours. I took my 10-year-old and he loved it, especially when we passed by Chippewa Square. Just keep in mind some of the history might be more interesting for older kids or adults.

Q: What happens if it rains? Do they cancel the tour?

A: If it rains, the tour generally continues unless there's severe weather. They do recommend bringing an umbrella and wearing comfortable shoes since Bull Street can get slippery. I went on a partly rainy day and it was still enjoyable, plus less crowded!

Q: How's the parking situation around Bull Street?

A: Parking can be tricky! There are some metered spots along Bull Street and in Forsyth Park, but they fill up fast. I suggest arriving a bit early or using a rideshare service if you can. The tour starts at Forsyth Park, so keep that in mind when planning your parking!
