Troup Square

  

One of the "newest" Savannah squares is Troup Square. Troup Square was built in 1851 and is named for George Troup. He served as Georgia Governor, Congressmand and Senator. It is one of only two Savannah squares named for a person living at the time with Washington Square being the other. The centerpiece of Troup Square is a Victorian bronze armillary that rests on six bronze turtles. Also, in the square, you will find a cast iron fountain for our canine friends. This pet "watering hole" has given the nickname to Troup Square as the "Dog Bone Square". Nearby Savannah points of interest include the Unitarian Universalist Church (Ca. 1851) where it is said that the Christmas Carol "Jingle Bells" was written, the McDonough Row Houses, and the Kennedy Row Houses.
