Make Holiday Memories in Port Wentworth

By: Scott Lorenza

2022 could easily be considered the year that we came back outside. After two years of COVID 19 restricting our activities, 2022 has been a welcome breath of fresh air. As we push to embrace our new normal, two harsh realities have also hit home. #1. The cost of living has increased and #2. We lost many friends and family members over this trying period in our lives. The idea of spending time with our loved ones is cherished, especially during the holiday season.

Port Wentworth, Georgia offers several opportunities to create memories with your loved ones at little, to no cost, to you. Friends and family can enjoy a day out on the water at the Savannah National Wildlife Refuge, with direct access to both the Savannah River and the St. Augustine Creek at the Houlihan Boat Landing off Georgia Highway 25. Opportunities for families and friends to come together and enjoy the day. Whether hunting or fishing, boating, paddling, canoeing or kayaking, Port Wentworth’s waterways await with new memories on deck.

If water is not your preference, Port Wentworth offers opportunities for you to carry your loved ones on a guided journey through history. Learn, explore and reflect as you drive around the Port City and take in the historic significance of our beloved home, rich in American history. Share and visit the many historic lands throughout our area with your children and out of town visitors.

Fellowship was certainly impacted by the pandemic and this year many churches have had the opportunity to come back and worship together. A visit to Port Wentworth’s historic African-American praise houses not only provides a glimpse into the past but demonstrates the need to preserve this history for generations to come. Built in the early 19th century, Praise Houses were located on each plantation or large community and today they are being restored and revived by Port Wentworth citizens.
