  3. Jekyll Island Playground of the Rockefellers Jekyll Island is located just off the Georgia coast, approximately midway between Savannah and Jacksonville. A six-mile causeway separates Jekyll from the mainland and the city of Brunswick.

  5. Historic Savannah Savannah was established on February 12, 1733 when General James Oglethorpe founded Georgia. The city was named for the Savannah River, a local waterway. Oglethorpe carefully planned the city's streets by using a grid pattern with 24 park-like squares. Savannah has the distinction of being the first city in the state of Georgia. There are numerous attractions in Savannah to increase cultural awareness and make Savannah the "Hostess City of the South". Savannah is home to a National Historic Landmark District of 2.5 square miles, and more than 1,100 architecturally significant buildings. The Victorian District is one of the nation's largest collections of that period's architecture. SFM 2009 Site Survey
