Battlefield Park Heritage Center

The Battlefield Park Heritage Center features a dedication to the hundreds who fought and died for freedom in the Revolutionary War Battle of Savannah. This memorial commemorates the 800 troops who died or were wounded in the battle.

The battlefield land was purchased by the City of Savannah in 2003 and along with the Coastal Heritage Society the park was created with archaeologists finding evidence of the original Spring Hill Redoubt in August 2005. Due to the help of donations and support from the city, the park is completed.

A century old monument sits on the area that remains of redoubt along with a new earthen fortification being built to show visitor what redoubt would have looked like. There are 800 granite stones at the park that represent those who died or were injured during the battle. These stones are arranged in ranks to represent the attacking columns; five of these columns attacked the British lines. These stones can be engraved to represent the memory of a Revolutionary War ancestor; this can be done through the many fundraising campaigns held for the park.

The park is opened daily and closes at dusk. Guided tours are available for groups of ten or more and run for approximately an hour. Self guided tours are also available.
