“perfect example of a 18th century estate”
A breathtaking avenue sheltered by live oaks and Spanish moss leads to the tabby ruins of Wormsloe, the colonial estate of Noble Jones (1702-1775). Jones was a humble carpenter who arrived in Georgia in 1733 with James Oglethorpe and the first group of settlers from England. Wormsloe's tabby ruin is the oldest standing structure in Savannah. Surviving hunger, plague and warfare in the rugged environment of Georgia, Jones went on to serve the colony as a doctor, constable, Indian agent, Royal Councilor and surveyor, laying out the towns of Augusta and New Ebenezer. He also commanded a company of marines charged with defending the Georgia coast from the Spanish. Jones died at the beginning of the American Revolution, but his descendants sustained Wormsloe until the state of Georgia acquired most of the plantation in 1973.
It's beautiful. That's about it. It is also expensive at $10/adult for entry. The visitors center and museum were really lackluster and uninformative. Even the pamphlet was boring and long winded. Come for the beauty, enjoy the trees, and head on out. FYI, closed on Mondays.
If you love nature this is the stop for you. The oak tree lane is worth the stop for pictures. It’s $10 a person and five to park. There are several trails ranging from 1 mile in length to four miles plus in length. There was a small reenactment with a musket fire and the guests were encouraged to line up and March. There are several amazing views. If you don’t like history or nature this is not the stop for you. I personally thought this was well worth the trip
Lo que vale la pena de este lugar es aparcar el coche y hacer el recorrido a pie. Sencillamente ¡magnífico!
This place is beautiful.
Breathtaking Scenery !!
We did the easy 3.2-mile loop, which explores the park's popular and historic areas... the entrance into this place is absolutely amazing with the trees over the road... I loved it.....
Wormsloe’s tabby ruin estate is the oldest standing structure in Savannah.
