River Street and Factors Walk
River Street and Factors Walk
Trace the footsteps of wealthy cotton brokers, stevedores, slaves, and ship captains on this fascinating stroll along narrow streets of ballast stone. Rows of 19th century cotton warehouses interlaced with iron catwalks reveal the secrets of an era when King Cotton ruled. Experience countless pubs, shops, and eateries along restored River Street. Street musicians croon, and bountiful seafood flavors the air of the Port of Savannah. The aroma of freshly baked pralines are irresistible. See the spot where the steam-driven paddle-wheeler, SS Savannah, set its maiden course to Europe. Today, massive container ships glide past within feet of the bricked walkways of Rousakis Plaza. End the tour on Upper Factor's Walk where merchants once huddled to claim fortunes at the Cotton Exchange building, still guarded by a mythical gryphon.
River Street & Factor's Walk is a "must do" experience when visiting Savannah!
Walk Time: Approx 40 Min's. (1) Elevator Ride, (1) Steep Walk. Moderately Easy
