Moon River Brewing Company in Historic Savannah Georgia

The Moon River Brewing Comany was featured along with the Sorrel Weed House on the Halloween special of TAPS, Ghost Hunters on the Sci Fi Channel. The Manager, Chris did an outstanding job with the Taps crew. Another thing the Moon River Brewing Comany does that is outstanding is brew great beer, and serve excellent food. In addition to this, their prices are extremely reasonable. I have been a fan since they opened a few years ago, and try to eat there two or three times a week. Where else can one get a 22 oz glass of exceptional micro brewed beer for $3.00? The service is outstanding, and it is obvious that the owner puts a premium on "putting the customer first", and offering an excellent product. The Moon River Brewing Company is located on Bay street, one block west of Bull street.

The Sorrel Weed House in Historic Savannah Georgia

This is a great picture of the DeRenne House, now headquarters for the Knights of Columbus. The Sorrel Weed House is in the background, and note the orange color. This is a postcard from 1909.

This is map of Savannah during the Siege of Savannah, that occurred in 1779. The Sorrel Weed House sits on what was then the Bristish center line wall. In 2002, I uncovered one of the British tower foundations. Click on the map and follow Bull street up to the wall, and the Sorrel Weed House sits to the right. I have uncovered many artifacts from the Siege of Savannah on the property.

This landmark, outside of Lynchburg Virginia, stands by Clement Hill, the home of my 6th great grandfather, Benjamin Clement. He delivered gunpowder along with his nephew, Colonel Charles Lynch,(from whom came the phrase "Lynch law, or lynching" to Williamsburg, supplying the Continental army. He and Colonel Lynch perfected a new way of manufacturing gunpowder with saltpeter, that became the standard for 18th century gunpowder manufacture. The old gunpowder tunnels remain on the property today. He and his wife, Suzanne Hill Clement, are buried on the property. There is a Clement/Candler cemetary in Lynchburg. The Clements and Candlers came to Georgia together and settled in Wilks county in the 1780's. Colonel William Candler is my 5th great grandfather, and led the Georgia refugees in the battle of Kings Mountain, during the American Revolution. Colonels Lynch and Candler didn't seem to like Tories. Captain Benjamin Clement died in 1780, and unfortunately did not live to see the American victory at Yorkstown in Oct., 1781.

Original 1839 Color of Sorrel Weed House

In 1997, I uncovered the original color, which was identical to the Owens Thomas House. It caused quite a stir in Savannah, and made local and national news for 3 months. Unfortunately, I did not have this wall to show the board as seen in the picture( It was a 1970's kitchen then). If I had, the approval process would probably been 1 week instead of 3 months. I hired Benjamin Wilson, of Charleston, who is one of the leading historic color experts in the country, to analyse and present the color to the review board. Finally they approved the color. I am currently removing later coats of paint on the rear second story porch, as this original paint is so well preserved. It is an ocre wash over horse hair stucco.

Sorrel Weed House

Savannah Tours

The Sorrel Weed House featured on Sci Fi Ghost Hunters, TAPS on the Oct 31, 2005 Halloween Special. Come take our Ghost Tours!

Savannah's Sorrel Weed House featured in Halloween Special Program on Sci Fi Chanel

Ghost Hunter's Williams and Hawes come to Savannah's historic district to feature Sorrel Weed House and the Moon River Brewery in Halloween Special.

The Halloween Special of the Sci Fi Channel's Ghost Hunters, was entertaining, as well as extremely scary. TAPS investigated one of the most significant historic houses in the United States, the Sorrel Weed House. "Bader's House" on the episode, Grant Wilson and Jason Hawes meet the owner Steven Bader, who tours them through the beautiful Savannah mansion, which was the first home in Georgia to become a registered state landmark.

Bader seemed to be somewhat of a skeptic, as he gives Savannah history tours through the Sorrel Weed House, and candlelight tours in the evening. Bader recalled the historic account of a slave who had died a traumatic death in 1861, following the suicide of Francis Sorrel's wife, who had jumped from the second floor porch two weeks earlier. An EVP was recorded in the 8th hour of their investigation, with an African American woman screaming......Get out....Get out....Help me, my God, my God. The TAPS team said it was the most significant EVP they had ever encountered. A man was heard with the woman, but his words were inaudible. Other significant evidence which had been gathered was for some reason not aired, so hopefully it will come out on a later episode.

Owner Steven Bader does not appear to be a skeptic now. He appeared pretty set back after he heard the woman's very audible screams, and he just wanted to "be alone". Bader plans to incorporate the evidence into his evening walking tours of the squares, and his home.

The final case was of the Moon River Brewing Company, and 1820's building on Bay Street. The manager walked Jason and Grant through the historic building, and the TAPS team went to work. They found shadows, an ascending mist, and a weird object moving on tape in the cellar. On the Ghost Hunters. The conclusion of the TAPS team was that in both cases, paranormal activity had occurred.........something one rarely hears them say.

The TAPS crew seemed to confirm Savannah as being the most haunted city in the United States, and it was an entertaining as well as a very strange episode.

Picture of upper porch and Lady Jane shop before demolishon. Woa!

The upper porch was enclosed when I purchased the Sorrel Weed House in 1996. As you can see, one could walk on the roof of the store around the entire perimeter of what is now the yard. Tourists today when they see the formal gardens on our walking tours of Savannah, have problems understanding what was there before. Well here is a picture!

Wine glass from the Francis Sorrel family. circa 1840.

This is a wine glass owned by Francis Sorrel. It was found at the Sorrel Weed House. I have met many descendants of the Sorrel family, and they have the original set with glasses that match this one. This is on display with other Sorrel memorabilia that is on display as we give Savannah tours through the Historic home.

Chris Bezeredi in the upper carriage house. This area is where the slaves lived.

Liquor cabinet that belonged to Francis Sorrel

When I demolished victorian stairs, behind one of the risers was H. D. Weed Savannah, which proves the stairs were not original to the Sorrel family.

The Sorrel Weed House front columns, brought down to their original 1839 stain.

Restoring Sorrel Weed basement

Sorrel Weed House formal gardens. I bought old palm trees and had them planted with cranes

Sorrel Weed House front parlor.

One of the nicest medallions in the country. Sorrel Weed House front parlor.

This medalion in the front parlor amazed me in 1996 when I purchased the home. The detail is just outstanding. In the rear parlor, there was a large ring without the medalion, as it had been sold in the 1940's. I had an artisan recreate an exact copy from this medalion. It took him 1 year to complete, and he made 199 plaster peices from molds he created from the original pieces on this medallion.

Sorrel Weed front formal parlor. Robert E. Lee was enterained here.

The Sorrel Weed House on Madison Square. Note regency arches on outer porches . Cluskey was influenced by Jay

The Sorrel Weed House Historic Marker was one of the first in Georgia

Sorrel Weed House Formal garden. This is a great place for parties, and our Historic Savannah Tours end here.

Our Savannah Tours begin at the Historic Sorrel Weed House entrance

In 1996, a wall traversing where the columns are was present, with a doorway. I removed the wall which had been installed in the 1940's, and created a copy of the two columns that had been there originally. One could see the marks in the floor and on the cieling where the two columns had been. This is also present in the next home that Cluskey designed, the Harper Foulks house, which is now the headquarters for the Society of the Cincinnati in the State of Georgia.

Savannah Tours show the Sorrel Weed House formal garden. The Lady Jane Shop covered the area before demolision

Library today. Notice eastern porch that was rebuilt after Shop was demolished

I went through apx 50 layers of paint in the Sorrel library, and found the original color, which is shown in the picture. The marble mantel was featured in the 1930 publication of the Architectural survey of the United States, done by by the Library of Congress. In 1939, the Savannah Society for the Preservation of Antiquities (now called Historic Savannah), held their first meeting in the home. A 1939 article in the Savannah Morning News discusses how important a house the Francis Sorrel residence is, and how it should serve as an icon for the "youth of today" The Lady Jane shop was built around the house 7 years later, in 1946. In 1939, there was an antique shop in the basement, along with a restaurant.

Oak Grain Faux finish circa 1839, a trademark of Charles Clusky, found when the Victorian Stairs were removed.

In many historic books on Savannah's historic architecture, the plans show the victorian stairs, and 2nd story curved walls as being an original design by Cluskey. The Sorrel Weed House is based on symetric proportion, and although the 1864 victorian stairs were pretty, they most certainly were not the original 1839 stairs built for the Francis Sorrel family. As I removed the victorian stairs, I uncovered this faux wood grain that was completely enclosed by the victorian stairs. This work is charictaristic of Charles Cluskey, who designed the Sorrel Weed house. I also uncovered this all along the first and second story foyers. Behind one of the supposedly "original" stair risers, was the large inscruptions...."H.D. Weed, Savannah Ga.". This in itself demonstrates that the second owners, the Weed family, removed the original regency stiars built for Francis Sorrel, and replaced them with the victorian stairs. Once I removed the victorian stairs, it was like following a roadmap to reconstruct the original stairs, as all of the wall lines, etc made it obvious where the original stairs had been. Ironically, the Francis Sorrel mimicked the stair designed 20 years earlier in the Owens Thomas House. There are other regency features of the home that demonstrate that Clusky was heavily influenced by William Jay's earlier work on the Owen's Thomas House, even down to painting the Sorrel Weed house the same burnt orange ocre color that was original to the Owens Thomas House museum. Other features similiar to the Owens Thomas House are the curved doors and walls in the formal dining room, and the regency arches on the outside of the 2 side verandas that were seen on other Jay house, which have since been destroyed.

Rear formal Sorrel Weed Parlor. This window was blocked up when purchased. The store went from the street to the window, and under the house

top of Sorrel Weed regency Stairs. We conduct our Savannah Tours up to this floor.

Here I am getting ready to attend the annual Society of Colonial Wars soiree at the Oglethorpe Club, last Friday evening. I had been in the basement all day behind my computers trading financial markets, and in reality I wanted some sleep!

Civil War Savannah

Savannah
Savannah is one of America's great cities and is rich with history from the colonial days to the present. During the Civil War, it was one of the most important cities for the Confederacy, and the goal of Gen. W.T. Sherman's army as he marched to the sea to resupply his men in late 1864. Today it boasts more than 1,200 historic structures, 20 beautiful squares, and much, much more. You can begin your tour by going to the Savannah Visitors Center. Several days are needed to see all the area has to offer. There are some general Civil War sites not to be missed. Factors Walk, located along the river bluff on Bay St., was a 19th century meeting place and center of commerce for cotton merchants. It looks much like it did when Sherman's men occupied the town. The Andrew Low House, 329 Abercorn St., was built in 1848 by a wealthy cotton merchant whose son married Juliette Magill Gordon, founder of the Girl Scouts. The home hosted Robert E. Lee, Union generals, and many other famous people. For tour information, call 912-233-6854. The Juliette Gordon Low birthplace home, 142 Bull St. is also available to tour. Low, as a young girl, is said to have told U.S. Gen. O.O. Howard, who was missing an arm, "I shouldn't wonder if my papa did it! He's shot lots of Yankees!" Sherman visited many times. 912-233-4501. The Olde Pink House, 23 Abercorn St., 912-232-4286, was built in 1771 and used as a headquarters for Union General York. Today it is a restaurant and tavern. The Sorrel-Weed House, 1840, at Harris St. in Madison Square, was the home of G. Moxley Sorrel, who won fame as one of Lee's lieutenants. Sorrel became brigadier general at age 26 and was called the "best staff officer in the Confederate Service." At Bull and Taylor Streets in Monterey Square is the Comer House, where Jefferson Davis was a guest in 1886 for the celebration of the centennial of the Chatham Artillery, during which many parties and celebrations were held. Union Army headquarters for Howard were at Bull St. at Gaston St., named the Jackson House for Henry Jackson, a brigadier general for the Confederacy.

After the war, Gen. Joe Johnston worked and lived in Savannah at 105 E. Oglethorpe Ave., and was visited by many luminaries of the Civil War, including Robert E. Lee, shortly before Lee's death. A marker on the home commemorates this fact. Forsyth Park (Bull St. between Gaston St. and Park Ave.), a 20-acre park laid out in 1851, was a campground for Union soldiers during the occupation of Savannah. A huge Civil War memorial, one of the largest in the South and the most expensive in the state, is located in the park, honoring Chatham's war dead. With thousands of citizens present, the monument was unveiled in 1875, with a statue called "Judgment" on the top and a statue called "Silence" in a cupola. The reaction to the memorial was negative, so a philanthropist stepped forward and the memorial was "fixed" and unveiled a second time in 1879, at a total cost of $35,000. A soldier was on top, the cupola was bricked up, "Silence" was sent to Laurel Grove Cemetery in Savannah, and "Judgment" was sent to Thomasville.

Fort Jackson
1 Fort Jackson Rd., Savannah 912-232-3945
HM, BF, NH, CWF, MUS, GI, MTS
Fort Jackson, one of the interior brick forts guarding Savannah's river approach during the Civil War, was never taken by naval vessels. Today, the nation's oldest standing brick fort houses a museum featuring the naval history of the area and artifacts from the C.S.S. Georgia, scuttled 300 yards away in the Savannah River by evacuating Confederates on Dec. 20, 1864. A red buoy in the river marks the location of Georgia's first ironclad. When Union troops under Sherman first seized Savannah, they occupied Fort Jackson and raised Old Glory over the fort. The iron-ram C.S.S. Savannah, displeased with this display, fired on the Federal troops from the river. The fort has 20-foot high walls, a nine-foot deep moat, and it held nine cannon, including a 32-pounder, the largest blackpowder cannon still fired in the U.S. Fort construction began in 1808 under President Thomas Jefferson's administration, and the fort was inspected by Gen. Robert E. Lee and C.S. President Jefferson Davis during the Civil War.

From Savannah, go east on Bay St. to President St. Ext. towards Tybee Island apx. 2.5 miles from town. Turn left at sign for Fort Jackson.
Green-Meldrim House
St. John's Church, 14 West Macon St., Savannah 912-233-3845
HM, HH, GI, MTS
This Gothic Revival style home, built in 1853 at the princely sum of $93,000, served as the headquarters of Gen. W.T. Sherman from Dec. 22, 1864 to Feb. 1, 1865. Charles Green, an English immigrant and cotton trader who made his fortune with Andrew Low & Company in Savannah, was in Europe in 1861 when the War began. Making his way back to the U.S. through Canada, he was arrested in Detroit, charged with spying, and sent to Fort Warren prison in Boston Harbor for three months. When released, he returned to Savannah.

In December of 1864, when Sherman occupied the town, Green offered his home, considered to be the town's finest, to the General, thinking this would spare it the treatment others had received at the hands of Sherman's army. Sherman accepted, and his men did not disturb Green's possessions. From here, Sherman sent his famous message to President Lincoln, reprinted in many newspapers of the day: "I beg to present to you as a Christmas gift, the City of Savannah with 140 heavy guns and plenty of ammunition and also about 25,000 bales of cotton." While Sherman stayed here, he learned of the death of his son Charles, whom he'd never seen, and planned his march through South Carolina. After the War, Sherman returned to Savannah and stayed again at Green's home. This National Historic Landmark has many fascinating features and is open for tours.

Downtown Savannah at Madison Square.
