In this episode of The Atlas Obscura Podcast, we visit the Haitian Monument in Savannah, Georgia, which was built to commemorate the Haitian soldiers who came to the rescue of patriots fighting in the Revolutionary War.

Our podcast is an audio guide to the world’s wondrous, awe-inspiring, strange places. In under 15 minutes, we’ll take you to an incredible site, and along the way you’ll meet some fascinating people and hear their stories. Join us daily, Monday through Thursday, to explore a new wonder with cofounder Dylan Thuras and a neighborhood of Atlas Obscura reporters.
