Wormsloe Historic Site
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. Today, visitors can interact with costumed interpreters during programs and events, and view a museum with artifacts unearthed at Wormsloe, as well as a short film about the site and the founding of Georgia. (please note: You will explore the ruins of Wormsloe, there is no true plantation home to tour) This historic site is only 8 miles southeast of Savannah's historic district. Guided tours are available and group tours (5+) are welcome with advanced notice.
