Did you know Savannah has the oldest bar in Georgia? Check it out

The oldest bar in Georgia is a Savannah hotspot . Not only is it connected to the state's founder, it's also tied to a world-renowned novel. What is Georgia's first bar? In its list of the oldest bars in every state, VinePair identified The Pirates' House as Georgia's first. It's housed in an old inn and tavern founded in 1753 as the state became more established, welcoming in more visitors. The inn and tavern grew out from what was the Herb House, built in 1734 as a home to the gardener of what was the first public agricultural experimental garden in America, which was established by Georgia's founder James Oglethorpe in 1733. How did the Pirates House get its name? As Savannah became a thriving seaport, the inn/tavern was a popular destination for sailors. The Pirates' House also has a connection to perhaps the most popular pirates book ever written: Robert Louis Stevenson's "Treasure Island." It mentions multiple times how one Captain Flint died in Savannah drinking and being merry. It's believed the Pirates' House was the inspiration for this piece of backstory.

U.S. 278 widening between Hilton Head and I-95 moves forward. Here's what to know

Jasper County is advancing plans to widen a 4-mile stretch of U.S. 278 to six lanes between the Beaufort County line and John Smith Road. The $80 million project is funded by a 2024 voter-approved penny sales tax, with construction expected to begin in 2033. FULL STORY: Road between Hilton Head and I-95 is widening. What to expect Here are key takeaways: Two options on the table: Alternative 1 widens U.S. 278 to the outside, keeping the 48-foot-wide grassy median. Alternative 2 widens into the existing median, requiring a concrete barrier at intersections and crossovers. Project manager’s view: Jeff Buckalew of Infrastructure Consulting & Engineering said widening to the outside is preferable, “but we’ll see what the public says.” Where things stand: The public comment period has closed, but Jasper County officials said no decisions have been made. They are using public input and other information to determine a preferred alternative that will guide the design work ahead. Timeline and cost: The $80 million project will be built in two phases, with right-of-way acquisition starting in 2029, construction in 2033 and roughly three years to complete. How it’s funded: Voters approved a 1% sales tax in 2024 expected to raise

Will 163-year-old Beaufort National Cemetery find new home and room to grow in Bluffton?

The U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs is hunting for new spots across Beaufort County to expand or replace the landmark 163-year-old Beaufort National Cemetery. One top contender is apparently a 100-acre wooded lot in Bluffton near the May River, about 25 miles away from the current location. That Bluffton property is going for $6.5 million , but local zoning rules currently ban cemeteries, so the owner has been trying to get Beaufort County to change the rules. However, the Beaufort County Council rejected the proposed text amendment in a 7-3 vote Monday, preventing cemeteries within the May River Community Preservation District. Despite the setback, representatives for the property owners intend to explore alternative legislative routes to enable the land sale. Real estate broker John Binder affirmed, “We’re not going to give up.” The urgency for a zoning solution stems from space constraints at the historic 44-acre Beaufort National Cemetery, which is rapidly approaching capacity. Major expansion completed President Abraham Lincoln created the cemetery during the Civil War for Union soldiers who died in local hospitals during the federal occupation following the 1861 Battle of Port Royal. It contains over 18,500 to 19,000 burials spanning every major American conflict from the

A routine harbor-deepening project in 2021 turned into a major historic find when a dredge scooping the Savannah River bed pulled up a rusted cannon in its jaws. Crews widening the channel quickly raised two more guns in the next scoop, eventually recovering 19 heavy iron weapons by March 2022. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers later brought up two more from the riverbed, bringing the final tally to 21 Revolutionary War cannons.
