History and art are everywhere in Savannah. The former is evident downtown, with monuments and plaques in every square and regal-looking antebellum mansions looming over the streets. Some of these former homes of military generals and the like have been turned into fabulous museums, like the William Scarborough House and the Telfair Academy. Meanwhile, the Savannah College of Art & Design has turned former railway sidings into the Georgia State Railroad Museum and the Savannah History Museum. The college campus itself has multiple places to visit, including its standout Museum of Art.
