Massie School Field Trip
Tomochichi and Oglethorpe Walking Tour in Downtown Savannah
Mary Musgrove (a tour guide) is standing in the exact spot where James Oglethorpe lived in a tent in 1733 when he founded Georgia.
The next three pictures make me smile:). Mr. Buttons (our tour guide) taught/reminded my boys of a life lesson. He asked all the boys to stand or sit on the ground so that the ladies could sit on the benches.
Tomochichi was buried in Wright Square. His grave site was covered with a memorial for Gordon who brought the railroad system to Georgia. The granite boulder from Stone Mountain was later added to Wright square to honor Tomochichi.
Students reenacting a meeting between James Oglethorpe and Tomochichi. Mary Musgrove acted as a translator for the two leaders. She knew the English and Creek language and was able to help them communicate.
