America 250: Celebrating Savannah’s Historic Legacy

The countdown to the nation’s biggest milestone has officially begun! As the United States prepares to mark 250 years of American history (1776–2026), there is no better place to uncover the foundational stories, sacrifices, and secrets of the past than right here in Georgia’s first city.

Savannah’s history isn’t just bound to the pages of text books—the spirits of the colony’s founders, Revolutionary War patriots, and historic citizens are still walking the streets of Savannah today.

The Artisan Spotlight Series offers engaging, immersive workshops and provides a dynamic platform for artists and artisans to share their creative processes with local residents and visitors.

Participants will have the opportunity to work with prepared indigo vats and will use a variety of resist techniques—including clamps, woodblocks and tie methods—to create patterns on cotton scarves. Each participant will leave with a one-of-a-kind dyed scarf, along with detailed instructions for washing and finishing their piece at home.

10 percent of coffee sales on July 18 will benefit Tharros Place, a nonprofit that provides services for 12-17-year-old survivors of human trafficking.

ABOUT THARROS PLACE:
Human trafficking – the exploitation of another person for sex, labor, or services – is a global threat. In the United States, there are 1.5 million human trafficking victims, most of whom are children. Savannah is no exception, due to its high poverty rate, international port, booming tourism industry, and the crossroads of Highway 95 and I-16.

Tharros Place, a 501(c)(3) that takes its name from the Greek word for courage, was created to fill a gap in services. In 2023, Tharros Place opened a 12-bed residential home to address underlying trauma and cultivate a culture of courage for girls ages 12 to 17.
