IN THIS 1847 LANDMARK

The Eliza Thompson House is an adults-only historic B&B just minutes from Forsyth Park. It's a short walk to many of Savannah's best restaurants, including Mrs. Wilkes' restaurant just down the street. Built in 1847, the Eliza Thompson House is one of the oldest inns downtown.

 

The home was the first house built on Jones Street, and was home to Eliza & Joseph Thompson and their 7 children. It now tops the charts as one of Savannah's most popular hotels, and was voted one of the most romantic inns in the U.S.

LAND ACKNOWLEDGMENT​

​

We acknowledge Eliza Thompson House was built upon Muscogee Creek ancestral land. As settlers on their indigenous homeland, we have a duty to recognize the Muscogee Creek nation as the original stewards of Savannah and beyond. The Muscogee Nation is one of the 5 Civilized Tribes and is the fourth largest tribe in the US. Before 1500 AD, the Muscogee covered the entire southeastern US. 

 

Here in downtown Savannah, the Yamacraw were a small group of Creek Indians living on the Savannah River. When Oglethorpe landed here in 1733, he worked with the Yamacraw (Chief Tomochichi) to peacefully settle on the bluff where Bay Street is today.

 

It is our hope that this land acknowledgment will help empower First Nation voices and inspire others in the community to pursue a stronger, more inclusive, and equitable future for our country. We seek to educate ourselves while contributing to the Muscogee Creek peoples by raising awareness and learning how to be a better ally against continued colonization.
