The Georgia Sons of the American Revolution unveiled a granite bench on Thursday at the Coastal Heritage Society’s Tricentennial Park.
The bench commemorates the American soldiers who fought in the Battle of Savannah on October 9, 1779 and the British withdrawal from Savannah on July 11, 1782.
The dedication was one of three events held in Savannah during the Georgia SAR's annual congress.
A second bench was dedicated in Johnson square and a special commissioned painting was unveiled depicting “George Washington in Savannah 1791”.
