About Wormsloe State Historic Site
Wormsloe was the estate of Noble Jones, one of Georgia’s earliest settlers, who arrived with James Oglethorpe in 1733. The remains of the fortified house he built, made of tabby—a mixture of lime, shells, sand, and water—are the oldest structures left in Savannah.
The entrance is an avenue more than 2 km long, flanked by hundreds of oaks planted in the 19th century, their branches meeting above the dirt road. It is one of the most photographed landscapes in Georgia.
The site has a small museum, woodland trails to the ruins and the marsh, and colonial life demonstrations on some days.
