Keep CALM and SPARKLE On Finding Joy in the Gems at ATELIER GALERIE by Dani Ray

n the welltrodden path connecting some of Savannah’s most significant downtown historical sites is the cozy but dazzling Atelier Galerie. At the entrance, you may detect the aroma of the coffee roasting just a few doors down, or, perhaps you’ll notice the picture of Adam Sandler, who visited with his girls while filming The Do-Over in Savannah! “We are a jewelry oasis in the middle of all the history,” says Owner and SCAD graduate Phyllis Lang, “and one of Savannah’s go-to spots for unique, reasonably priced gifts.” Here, gemstones from times long past serve as the focal point for some of the shop’s one-of-a-kind pieces. Hand-picked by ang, there you ll find lovely blue larimar, iridescent ammonite, tourmalines the color of watermelon rinds, Herkimer diamonds from the Mohawk River Valley, amethyst, kyanite and tanzanite. Atelier Galerie also boasts an impressive selection of moonstone and even offers pieces made with Zultanite — a stone whose pale greens, pinks and beiges change depending on the light source and angle! But inspiration abounds closer to home, as well. While strolling through the city years ago, Lang was struck by the prominence of Savannah’s gates and fences, suddenly seeing their ornate and complex designs 22 Savannah Scene March-April 2022

as the “jewelry” adorning the city’s marvelous architecture. She immediately set to making pieces inspired by and modeled after the historic wrought iron, and the Savannah Fine Iron line was born. Today, Atelier Galerie carries pieces inspired by the ironwork at the Owens-Thomas House and the Davenport House Museum, but the line will be expanding further in the coming year to include other important historical sites. Also Savannah-inspired are Lang’s Savannah Charm bracelets, featuring some of its most iconic symbols: the “Bird Girl” statue, the Tybee Island Lighthouse, the magnolia ower, the aving irl Statue and the Cathedral Basilica of St. John the Baptist. Perhaps one of the most memorable aspects of the Atelier Galerie experience is that visitors are not only allowed to try on the pieces they love but encouraged to do so. Atelier Galerie is open Monday through Saturday from 10:00 a.m.-5:30 p.m. and Sundays from 11:00 a.m.-4:00 p.m. With gorgeous offerings from Lang, young SCAD graduates, assorted Georgia jewelers, big names like Holly Yashi and Bora and an extensive selection of sterling silver jewelry, the Atelier Galerie is a Savannah spot you don’t want to miss!

Art In Savannah Savannah’s quality of life is unrivaled by any comparably sized city in the South. In fact, part of the appeal of Georgia’s First City lies in its surprisingly rich array of cultural offerings from the visual arts to live music. Savannah is home to more than 40 galleries, the oldest art museum in the South and the Savannah College of Art and Design. Literally thousands of artists, including students and professionals, flock to this city with its history of strong support for the arts. The relationship between Savannah and its creative residents is reciprocal: not only has the city supported its artists, but its artists have played a key role in the city’s continued growth and vitality. Just a quick elevator ride to the upperlevel studios in the Franklin Ward North and Franklin Ward South Buildings in Historic City Market is where you will discover a wide variety of original art. Take the time to explore the area and visit with more than 50 artists as they bring the “Art of Savannah” to life — all of which is as unique as the city itself. 24 Savannah Scene March-April 2022

MASSIE HERITAGE CENTER Your First Stop in Georgia’s First City by Dani Ray

POP QUIZ! Which of the following statements about Massie Heritage Center is true? A) It was designed by famed architect John Norris. B) It was built with Savannah grey brick but coated in plaster for dramatic effect. C) It was one of the city’s first schools and is part of the Chatham County Public School System. D) It’s now a museum that interprets Savannah history for schoolchildren and the general public. How did you do? Hopefully better than I did — all of the above are correct! Curator Steve Smith chuckles. “Massie Center is a bit of a hidden gem. A lot of people don’t realize what it actually contains.” For one, a gorgeous, fully restored interior appointed with a model of the city plan, life-sized statues of

famous figures, and an authentic 19th Century classroom, where groups of schoolchildren are transported to another time. “A lesson is taught in full-on period-correct clothing, and students learn how to properly address the teacher, maintain good posture and work using a quill pen!” Steven enthuses. “The kids absolutely love it.” Other interactive programs and exhibits delve into Colonial America, Oglethorpe and Tomochichi, the American Indians of the Southeast, Civil War Medicine, Savannah’s Famous Teachers, its City Plan, Architectural Styles and Historic Preservation. Massie Heritage Center also conducts walking tours that make use of the array of cultural resources peppered throughout the city. During Black History Month in February, the 2-hour “Civil Rights and Civil Wrongs” tour covers segregation and integration, the role of the churches in the civil rights movement and the legacy of Savannah’s own Westley Wallace Law. It ends at Green Square on the steps of the Historic 2nd African Baptist Church, where General Sherman read the Emancipation Proclamation in 1864. Other walkabouts include the “Famous Women of Savannah” during Women’s History Month in March and the “Irish History of Savannah.” “What we’re doing is really about stimulating curiosity, and there is so much to learn here,” Smith says. “If Savannah is new to you, this is the perfect place to orient yourself to its layout, history and architecture. If you live here, you can really dig into the people and the forces that helped shape this city.” Massie Heritage Center is open to the public 10:00 a.m.-4:00 p.m. Monday through Saturday, and Sundays from 12-4:00 p.m. Start your Savannah adventure here!

Savannah’s HISTORIC Cemeteries Monument: Confederate BrigadierGeneral Alexander R. Lawton

one of Savannah’s original settlers who colonized the city with General James Oglethorpe in 1733. Located along the scenic banks of the Wilmington River, Bonaventure Cemetery also features group burials for the American Legion Field, the Confederate States of America, the Order of Railroad Conductors and the veterans of the SpanishAmerican War.

o visit to Savannah is complete without a visit to the city’s historic cemeteries, each of which serves as a final resting place for many of Savannah’s most fascinating residents. Every one of these cemeteries is situated amid incredibly scenic surroundings. Even if cemeteries give you goosebumps, you’ll be glad you stopped by to experience some of Savannah’s unique history firsthand. Just don’t stay too long!

Bonaventure Cemetery

Immortalized by John Berendt in his bestseller Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil, Bonaventure is the final resting place for many of Savannah’s most prominent citizens, including songwriter Johnny Mercer (1909-1976), poet Conrad Aiken (1889-1973) and plantation owner Noble Jones (1701-1775), 42 Savannah Scene March-April 2022

Bonaventure was originally a 600acre plantation, which was sold for $5,000 in 1846 to Savannah businessman Peter Wiltberger, who turned the land into a public cemetery called Evergreen Cemetery. The City of Savannah purchased Evergreen Cemetery in 1907 and renamed it Bonaventure Cemetery. Savannah photographer Jack Leigh captured the image that graces the cover of Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil — a burial statue, nicknamed The Bird Girl, that once stood in the heart of Bonaventure Cemetery. The statue is currently on display at the Telfair Museum of Art. HOW TO GET THERE: Bonaventure is located just off Pennsylvania Ave. on Bonaventure Rd. savannah.com

Monument: Corinne Elliott Lawton, daughter of Confederate BrigadierGeneral Alexander R. Lawton

HOURS: Open daily from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Colonial Park Cemetery

Colonial Park Cemetery is the city’s only nonactive cemetery, meaning that no more burials take place on this historic plot of land, located at the corner of Abercorn St. and Oglethorpe Ave. Walk through the graceful arch erected by the Daughters of the American Revolution, and you will discover a window into Savannah’s rich past. Many of Savannah’s earliest settlers are buried in Colonial Park, and their gravestones date back to the 1700s. Today, Colonial Park Cemetery serves as a park for many Savannah residents. Many Savannahians stroll through the cemetery in the early morning or walk their dogs within the cemetery’s wrought iron perimeter in the evening. HOW TO GET THERE: The main entrance is located at the corner of Abercorn St. and Oglethorpe Ave. HOURS: Open daily from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. savannah.com

Laurel Grove Cemetery

Established in 1852, Laurel Grove Cemetery has thousands of graves that reflect Savannah’s rich history, situated amid groves of live oak, magnolia and dogwood trees. This contemplative site, which features ornate ironwork and magnificent statuary on many of the lots, was once called Springfield Plantation. Laurel Grove is divided into two distinct sections by a highway connector. Laurel Grove North, perhaps the better-known part of the cemetery, is the burial place of hundreds of Confederate soldiers, as well as prominent citizens like Juliette Gordon Low, the founder of the Girl Scouts, and Florence Martus, Savannah’s Waving Girl. Laurel Grove South serves as the final resting place for many members of Savannah’s African American community. Many enslaved people, freedmen and even two African American Confederate veterans are buried in Laurel Grove South. HOW TO GET THERE: Laurel Grove Cemetery is best accessed from Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd. Turn right onto Anderson Street and the main gate will be straight ahead. HOURS: Open daily from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.

HOROSCOPE ARIES

Finding your footing this month may feel a little trickier than usual. Still, striving for balance is always a worthy cause, even if you don’t achieve the level of perfection you were hoping for.

TAURUS Your essential accessory this month will be your smile. It can brighten a room and put a spring in your step. Smiling has been shown to reduce blood pressure and pain! GEMINI

Sometimes, Gemini, you have to celebrate the little things. Life is messy, it changes in an instant, and it should be treasured whenever possible. You know this deep down, now go practice it!

CANCER Your tendency to wait for just the right moment to do or say something may have you feeling left out. Dial down your filter just one notch this month and see what happens. LEO The prospect of a move out of your “comfort zone” has you a little ri ed. ut ask yourself, how comfortable were you really? Have things truly been so great or have they just been easy? Think about it. VIRGO

Technically, yes, you are a bear. ut this month, it will behoove you to throw off hibernation just a tad early. Keep your warm clothes out, but start thinking like spring is right around the corner (it is). This year you’ll be ready for it, and it’s going to knock your socks off! 46 Savannah Scene March-April 2022

MARCH 2022 LIBRA Diplomacy is a wonderful skill, but if you are obsessing over every word in texts, emails, and even in person, you’re wasting precious time. This month, consider: is it so bad to be considered direct? SCORPIO

If you begin to feel envy the moment you get on social media, you are not alone. ut this is counterproductive to finding joy in your own life. Why not start dreaming about your next vacation or reach out to an old friend, instead?

SAGITTARIUS

Life’s absurdities may have a tendency to make you angry this month. ut what if they made you laugh, instead? You may be surprised at how powerful this small change can be.

CAPRICORN

You will serve as a sounding board this month. Remember: a true guide helps someone work through how they are feeling until they come out the other side. If you can re ect back what the other person is feeling, you will be effective.

AQUARIUS

You and your daily grind may be on the outs. If it’s throwing you off, can you regroup? This month, look objectively at your time and what fills it. How can your routine serve you better?

PISCES Are you worrying about things that haven’t happened yet on t. e proactive, be prepared, but don’t spend your days preoccupied. The only time you really have any control over is the present. savannah.com

March-April 2022 Savannah Scene 47

HOROSCOPE ARIES Studies have conclusively shown that some combination of good sleep, exercise, and gratitude can make all the difference in how you feel every day. This month, rate yourself in each of these departments — how are you doing? Is there any room for improvement? TAURUS

In modern life, change seems to be the only constant. You aren’t the only one thrown off by the constant smashing of the old and lightning-quick construction of the new. Remember this in your dealings with older generations, and reserve some empathy for them.

GEMINI

When was the last time you checked in with your personal definition of success? If it’s been a while since you’ve mulled it over, this month is the perfect time to revisit it!

CANCER Your hopes and dreams don’t belong at the bottom of your to-do list because there’s never time. They belong at the top. This month, try it out and get ready for awe. LEO A recent shift in your perspective has improved your outlook. How can you lean into it and mine this new paradigm for deeper understanding fire sign in your circle of friends may be experiencing something similar; keep your ears open to cultivate this connection. VIRGO

You have a skill or talent that has been dormant for far too long. Are you sure you want to let go of it completely? If not, what are some steps you could take to reactivate it? 48 Savannah Scene March-April 2022

APRIL 2022 LIBRA You’re overdue for a reunion with your “fun friend.” You know, the one who can always make you laugh no matter what else is happening in your lives. Find a way to reconnect and try to bottle a little of that humor for yourself. SCORPIO

The color green will be calling to you this month, Scorpio. The deep greens of the forest, the varied greens of a nearby garden, thoughts about how you can do better for the planet. Follow this interest down the path and see where it leads.

SAGITTARIUS

You’ve been worrying a lot about money. But what good are the constant calculations if they don’t change the outcome? Sit down with someone who can answer your questions, make a solid plan, and then let it go knowing how you will move forward.

CAPRICORN

Acting with agency can be scary because it puts us at odds with others acting on theirs. But no one can do this for you! This month, grow your agency, even if it’s just a little.

AQUARIUS

You’ve got changes coming just around the bend. They won’t all be easy, but you’re ready for a few shake-ups. Don’t fear to meet them as the best version of yourself!

THE

HAUNTED SQUARES OF SAVANNAH By Andrea Six

Unsettling stories of torture, suicide and war sulk in the shadows of homes and historic areas all around Georgia’s First City. Though much of the landscape has changed, a few things have not. Some say these things are spirits who won’t leave their places of tragedy, while others say peoples’ minds play tricks on them. If you’d like to find out for yourself, explore these supposedly supernatural squares in Savannah.

Madison Square Just beyond Madison Square is the ground on which many lives were lost fighting during the Battle of Savannah. Before it was named after President James Madison, rumors of spirits and reports of paranormal activity surfaced. Some say a mass grave for dead soldiers lay in this very location, though there is no confirmation. Anchored by the statue of William Jasper, the square’s most common ghost has an eerie resemblance to the sculpture – a solid black shadow in the shape of a full-grown man.

Perhaps even more unnerving is the fact that the Sorrel-Weed House – a home where Matilda Sorrel supposedly committed suicide, which has been investigated by Ghost Hunters and featured on HGTV’s If Walls Could Talk and Travel Channel’s The Most Terrifying Places in America – opens onto the square. Also notable is that the Green-Meldrim House is on this square, which was General Sherman’s Headquarters during the Civil War.

Reynolds Square Yellow Fever’s devastation plagued the early days of Savannah, but just off Reynolds Square, there is rumored to have been a property where malaria patients were committed that included a makeshift crematorium. Legend says victims were wrapped in sheets and burned, right in the middle of what is now Reynolds Square, to keep the disease from spreading. Perhaps that’s why visitors’ photos of John Wesley’s monument feature strange apparitions in the background? The apparition of James Habersham Jr. has been seen at The

Olde Pink House, which opens onto this square, as well as his grandson, who likes to order a beer at the basement bar. (Be careful in the basement, because invisible children have been known to play tricks on people down there.)

desecrated by the city to make way for a monument to William Washington Gordon, a prominent politician and president of the Central Railroad and Banking Company. Does it come as a surprise that Tomochichi is still spotted centuries later?

Wright Square

However, it’s Alice Riley who has attracted the most attention. As the story goes, she traveled to Savannah in 1733 with her domineering husband and several Irish servants. One year later, her husband was found dead in their home – murder suspected. Alice and one of the servants, Richard White, were missing and when suspicion arose, they were sentenced to death. Though she maintained her innocence, ultimately both were hung and Alice was supposedly left on the gallows for three days.

Today, Wright Square may be a beautifully shaded section of land where guests learn a little history and enjoy a snack from one of the nearby cafés, but it wasn’t always a place people wanted to visit. One of Savannah’s original squares, this site once held the gallows where many lives were taken. Memorialized in Wright Square, Yamacraw Chief Tomochichi was buried here in 1739, but 100 years later, his grave was
