We stopped here on our tour of Savannah. This is a beautiful square. The Mercer Williams house is located on the north side of it. We could have spent an hour here just relaxing in the square.

One square over from us, this is my second favorite!! Also the home of Mercer/Williams House. So pretty busy with tourists. But still a pleasant square, just come at dusk so it's quieter and more enjoyable then!!1
