Absolutely breathtaking. Wormsloe Historic Site is a must visit for anyone who loves history and/or nature. I was so glad to have learned more about Savannah after having visited this state park, for there is much to discover here.
Wormsloe Historic Site is operated by the state of Georgia as it's a state park. There is an admission fee and for veterans, there is a discount. If you're following Google Maps to get to this site, it will take you to the old entrance, which is not open. However, just down the road from it, you'll see the main entrance where the visitor's center is. Here is where you can find plenty of parking, buy your admission fee, use the restrooms and shop in the gift shop. There's also a free shuttle here that takes you to the park if you don't want to walk the mile to it.
There's a lot of history here as is seen from when you walk around the park, especially when you get to Noble Jones' tabby ruins, which is the oldest structure in Georgia. Pretty amazing. This historic site was Noble Jones' plantation and is located along the Savannah River on a marsh, which you can walk out to on an observation deck. It's absolutely stunning. It really reminded me of being in this part of the country.
There are many walking trails here, which are all dog-friendly, and what may be my favorite part is how many live oaks and Spanish moss you can see here! Loved it so much! You can even walk along the grand avenue of the live oaks instead of taking the shuttle, which I highly recommend doing. The live oaks are absolutely beautiful and really make an entrance.
Coincidentally, we visited during the colonial faire event, which occurs in February and is where you can see people dress up and demonstrate 18th century life as it was. It was a great way to bask in even more history. I cannot recommend visiting Wormsloe Historic Site enough.
