Travel with OLLI at Clemson: 

Exploring Savannah’s Hypnotic History and Culture

 

Join OLLI at Clemson & Explore Up Close . . .

as we discover intriguing layers of that mesmerizing Southern city, Savannah!

November 1 – 4, 2022

Join explorers from Clemson OLLI for an intriguing drive into Savannah’s past.  Our driving route will take us south — never far from the Savannah River and the blackwater Ogeechee . . . to one of the U.S.’s most distinct urban cultures.

We’ll enlist experts as we delve into the most important Savannah (and Georgia) stories:  Savannah’s urban greenspaces (known as squares and originally numbering 28); slavery, race relations, and the evolution of economics in the city; architecture and preservation; and locals who have viewed the world differently (aka Tom Watson . . . no, not the golfer . . . Flannery O’Connor, Johnny Mercer, Clarence Thomas, and the Lady Chablis).

We’ll spend three nights in the heart of the historic district . . . and there will be time to explore on your own, honor the social hour, and pick and choose evening dining options (and Savannah is a nice place to do that).
