Itinerary
1
St. Marys Community Market/ St. Marys Waterfront Pavilion
We begin our tour overlooking the St. Marys River and discuss the many peoples - the British, French, Spanish, and Native Americans - who claimed and fought over this land. We then discuss St. Marys' founding in 1788 in order to protect its citizens against the enemy Spanish in Florida just a stone's throw away.
10 minutes

Riverview Hotel
Enter the century-old Riverview Hotel, where Rockefellers and Carnegies stayed, to look at a cartoon created by renowned Roy Crane, who stayed at this hotel and drew the people and places he saw while in St. Marys. It is fun to pick out places we will be visiting together on the tour!

We admire this iconic pink inn while discussing its history and getting to the bottom of why its porch ceilings are painted blue!

Find out how you can sleep in the bedroom of a killer here!
10 minutes
7
First Presbyterian Church
Explore the interior of this 1807 church - the oldest in St. Marys and one of the oldest in Georgia - as we discuss how this structure miraculously survived burning by Union troops during the Civil War. And you must hear the story of a horse in the bell tower - you'll never guess who put it there!
