Explore Savannah
Many come to Savannah to experience its art, history, shopping, fine dining and fun drinks, or to escape into the seclusion of nature – and there's no shortage of all of the above immediately around Kehoe House! Located in the heart of Savannah’s North Historic District, visitors to Kehoe House will find themselves in the center of everything.
Here are our favorite activities that guests inquire about the most. If you have questions, please ask – we're here to help make the most of your time in Savannah.
Enjoy the Squares
​One of the most enjoyable things to do in Savannah is stroll through the beautiful squares! We recommend starting with Columbia Square right in front of Kehoe House. Then, head to Bull Street. Starting near City Hall, meander an enjoyable 20 minutes toward Forsyth Park. All along the way, you'll experience some of Savannah's prettiest squares amid historic sites, shopping, and opportunities for a drink or a cup of coffee.
Tour the Town
Especially if you're a first-time visitor, we recommend taking a trolley tour to get familiar with Savannah. There are several tours we like, including a hop-on-hop-off tour with more than 15 stops exploring Savannah's most important attractions.
For an experience that’s more personalized, we recommend going on one of the many guided tours catering to your preferred adventure – from historic sites and ghost tours to some of Savannah’s most beautiful vistas. Whatever your interests, we can help you arrange a tour you'll thoroughly enjoy.
Shop the Boutiques
From local specialty shops like Shop SCAD, Savannah Bee, E. Shaver Bookseller and Satchel to boutiques like Paris Market & Brocante, Terra Cotta, and Harper Boutique, there's much to see and buy in Savannah. The three main shopping areas in historic Savannah are:​
-
