Welcome to the Saint David’s Society of Savannah

Savannah, the Hostess City of the South, has a long history of heritage societies. Prior to 2013, however, none were dedicated to the appreciation and preservation of Welsh history and culture.

What started as an idea between two amateur geneologists has rapidly become the largest co-ed heritage society in Savannah!
