Savannah, GA

Having been to Savannah many times in the past, we did something a little different this time around.

We visited The Railroad Museum.  T loved it!

The Georgia State Railroad Museum is believed to be the largest and most complete Antebellum railroad repair facility still in existence in the world!
This National Historic Landmark site, formerly named the Roundhouse Railroad Museum, is the oldest and largest existing nineteenth-century railroad operations complex in the nation. Construction began in 1850. Thirteen of the original structures remain today. The Central of Georgia Railway handled freight, passengers, maintenance, and manufacturing at this single location.

After touring the Railroad museum, we dined at the Crystal Beer  Parlor, which was way off the beaten path.  We walked and walked and walked and were rewarded with a great meal and excellent beer.

The Crystal Beer Parlor opened in the early 1900's as The Gerken Family Grocery Store.  It was the first American eating establishment to serve alcohol after the repeal of Prohibition (Probably because the booze was already on the premises!)
