At dawn on October 9, 1779, thousands of soldiers from many nations clashed for control of the British-held city of Savannah–Georgia’s colonial capital. Each year, on the date of the battle and near the time of the attack, we gather to march in the footsteps of the attackers and remember the sacrifice of soldiers on both sides of this bloody battle.
Please meet in the Savannah History Museum/Visitors Center parking lot at 7am on Thursday, October 9th. Marching behind musicians and flag-bearers, we will proceed to Battlefield Memorial Park for a brief ceremony. Members of heritage groups are invited to place wreaths in honor of those who fought in the battle.
