Things to do across Georgia

Civil War prisoner-of-war site with a national cemetery and the National Prisoner of War Museum.

Wander old tree-lined roadways past cemetery sculpture and the graves of Johnny Mercer and Conrad Aiken on a bluff above the Wilmington River.

Step inside a Gothic Revival cathedral near Lafayette Square to see its twin spires, painted murals and stained glass windows.

Ride a passenger ferry to a car-free barrier island of empty beach, maritime forest and Carnegie mansion ruins.

Stroll a 30-acre city park to its 1858 cast-iron fountain, then spread out on the lawns among monuments, courts and playgrounds.

Walk the moated brick fort on Cockspur Island where rifled cannon breached the walls in 1862.

Bike, beachcomb and ride a trolley through the Jekyll Island Club historic district on a state-owned barrier island with wide Atlantic beaches.

Paddle, boat or hike a vast blackwater swamp where alligators, sandhill cranes and wood storks live.

Walk a cobblestone riverfront of old cotton warehouses turned shops and restaurants as cargo ships pass.

Walk a grid of 22 public squares, 18th- and 19th-century houses and the old cotton warehouses of Factors Row on the Savannah River.

Look into a canyon nearly 1,000 feet deep from rim overlooks and a suspension bridge above the river.
