Why Go
Oglethorpe's plan of wards around open squares survives almost intact, one of the finest urban plans in America. Chippewa Square is where Forrest Gump sat on his bench; Monterey Square is perhaps the loveliest; Madison and Lafayette are ringed by grand houses.
Tips
- Walk Bull Street from City Hall to Forsyth Park to pass five of the squares.
