Each October 9th, the Coastal Heritage Society commemorates the Battle of Savannah. This is a popular event with Coastal Georgia Seniors looking for a fun and historical outing.
On October 9, 1779 American, British and French armies clashed on the west side of Savannah, Georgia.
The armies included soldiers from modern-day, Ireland, Scotland, Germany, Great Britain and Poland.
African-Americans and even Native American soldiers also participated in the deadly conflict that proved to be one of the costliest for the Americans in the American Revolution.
Savannah contains significant forensic evidence of this battle, as unearthed by Coastal Heritage Society archaeologists in partnership iwth Lamar Institute.
Excavations conducted from 2005-2011, uncovered startling discoveries including:
Trenches- Fortifications
- Battle debris.
Tourists and Savannah senior history buffs can view artifacts from the Revolutionary War era in the Savannah History Museum, then cross the street to explore Battlefield Memorial Park, which is the site of one of fourteen earthen fortifications from the Battle of Savannah.
