This is such an amazing beautiful place. A must visit! If you can get the tour by Viator with Kelly tours and get Dennis as your tour guide then you will sure learn a lot about this place and the history! The trees are just magical, I always love oak trees with spanish moss. Just makes them look 10x more interesting. We visited in Nov which was cloudy and warm. But a great weather to walk around. Definitelly need to visit when in Savannah, will complete your visit for sure.

A must-see if you are in the Savannah area. The 1.5 mile Avenue of Oaks was the big highlight for me, and worth the visit alone. I recommend walking the avenue if you are able Rather than taking the tram. This way you can take in the beauty of the Southern live oaks, each one unique! The tabby ruins were interesting, but I had already seen the massive McIntosh Sugarworks ruins which are down the coast a bit, so the Wormsloe ruins did not seem impressive by comparison. The Wormsloe ruins are older, smaller, and roped off. The MacIntosh ruins are huge, and you can walk around inside them! The museum was interesting, but needed a serious dusting. The staff weren't as friendly as those we have interacted with at other Georgia Historic Sites.

An absolute must see in Savannah! First time visiting the area so had to stop by this place since I've heard such great things. It certainly didn't disappoint! The guides were all very helpful in explaining the rich history of this historic site. Highly recommend checking this out!

I've been to Savannah a ton of times, but never knew about this hidden gem! This is a stunning photographic must-do! It's scenic and peaceful! The trail walk out to the ruins and the wetland area was beautiful! It was nice to see a trolley being used rather than cars going down this beautifully photographic road. The bike riders seemed to enjoy the serenity too!

This park is both beautiful and rich in history. Entry is through the gift shop, and we had the pleasure of learning fascinating historical details about the park and Georgia from our knowledgeable tram driver. Although our visit was brief due to arriving near closing time, it was absolutely worth it. We'll definitely return when we're in the area!

The entrance building and gift shop is gorgeous- I sincerely hope they can updater the museum further into the park grounds too. I was very happy they offer a tram to take you down the gorgeous live oak drive and back to the museum. AKA- this is handicap accessible. The gift shop had a variety of gift items. I bought some cookie presses and John snagged a magnet. Staff here are great! Very informative tour on the tram. They run 2 trams- it takes about 15 minutes to drive back. There are hiking trails and ruins of an old fort on the grounds. With the heat and limited physical abilities- we stuck to the tram. I would love to return and explore more in the future!

History whispers as you walk in the footsteps of the past. I felt it. It has been a dream come true to step inside Wormsloe Historic Site. It has been one item on my bucket list to travel to Savannah and step onto the soil where the painful history of slavery actually happened, but still echoes despite the century that has gone by. History has always interested me. I have been told that I am an old soul. Every time I travel to new places, I make sure there is a historical site that I will be visiting. I love the stories behind them. The moment I walked into the arched entrance, it seemed like I was transported to a different era. I was enthralled by the rich history of the state. I was awed by the moss-draped avenue of live oak trees that stand as prime witnesses to what really took place and who walked through there. At the heart of Wormsloe are the stately tabby ruins of the colonial estate of Noble Jones, one of Georgia's first settlers. The grand structures allow visitors to journey back in time to experience life in the 18th century. We enjoyed walking, getting near to the marshes, and exploring the maritime forest aside from the ruins. I believe that visiting Savannah, Georgia will never be complete without a visit to Wormsloe.

Great entry site - we did a lot of walking but if you want there is a tram that will take you most of the way out and back! We enjoyed our hike through the maritime forest and the Wormsloe specific things were awesome! Highly recommend if you're looking for some great outdoor time...the avenue of oaks is so inspiring!

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.

Loved the Spanish miss drenched live oak lined path, beautiful. We rented bikes and was very hot and humid but shaded by the trees and movement of wind as you rode made it bearable and glad we did it. Walking would have been brutal this hot day, shuttle wouldn't have been as fun although probably would have a learned a bit more history from the guide/driver. Got some great pics!

This was one of my fav stops in Savannah. We came in early on a Saturday afternoon and walked out to the trees. Definitely need to have walking shoes and bug spray on for the walk and some water in hand. Learning the history of the property through the different generations along with the raw beauty of the area was memorable. Parking is free and easy in a large lot in front. Plus, the gift shop had great trinkets to bring home and you can become a Junior Ranger if your kids are interested.

This park is absolutely BEAUTIFUL. The draw to this place is the gorgeous path you are able to walk and bike on that is covered by live oaks and sprawling Spanish moss. When I was here, there were many people taking photos. We saw girls in their prom dresses and also a couple taking maternity photos. There is a cost to get in, but it is well worth it. If you ever find yourself taking a trip to Savannah, definitely add this to your list of things to do as it is only a few minutes drive out.

This historic site charges a fairly large admission fee per person for a state park. It is quite a nice area, though. The entrance is one of those canopied rows of trees that was made to impress visitors to the plantation that used to be here. This was hundreds of years before Instagram, but the aesthetic is still impressive in the modern age and everyone was stopping for pictures. The plantation itself, however, is mostly gone, leaving a set of historical exhibits and some trails that give the visitor an opportunity to imagine what settling this sort of terrain might have been like. The ruins of an old mansion are made with a mix of shells, creating a distinctive aesthetic. The Spanish Moss is abundant, and the property adjoins tidal creeks surrounded by swathes of spartina grass. I've been to quite a few such sites, but if this was my first one, it would have convinced me to come back for more. I didn't even fully peruse the history museum or catch any events, but for a day hike on the edge of Savannah, it was a quality site.

I was hoping to have a nice peaceful quiet walk enjoying the nature and the beautiful moss dripping trees but unfortunately that was not the case. There was a small four wheel motorized vehicle, I think it was run by the employees that was driving back-and-forth back-and-forth back-and-forth and it made my nice quiet walk feel like I was in traffic. Plus there were motorized cars driving on the road. If you're looking for peace and quiet this is not the place to go! The trees were nice but it made it difficult to appreciate them in all their beauty with the cacophony of motor sounds.

Easily one of my favorite stops while visiting Savannah! If you are an out of towner, I would 100% add this spot to the itinerary. We were staying in downtown without a car, so it was an Uber away for us, but still very worth it. If you have your own car, maybe plan it for a day you are driving in or out of the city already. Our driver was born and raised in Savannah and actually had never visited herself! So natives, if this is your equivalent to a New Yorker visiting the Empire State Building or the Statue of Liberty, plan a day to go! You'll love it here if you love: -walking (you've got to really love it though) -ogling at nature's beauty -history -being outside Our Uber dropped us off right at the entrance and top of an incredibly beautiful long road lined by oak trees. We paid our entrance fees and started our walk. It's long, but not hilly or difficult. After the long road, you can wander different paths, walk through the small museum/history center to learn about the family that has owned and lived on the property since the 1730s. Some tips to make the day even better: -wear comfortable and close toed shoes! I wore birks and my toes were basically black from dust and dirt. -bring water! They have vending machines, but were out of water the day we went. -don't go hungry. The walk was long and beautiful and I would have hate to cut it short because we needed to get food. Enjoy!

My wife and I went to visit historic Wormsloe and did the self-guided tour of the grounds. It was a fascinating window into colonial Georgia and the early settlement of the Savannah area. I do HIGHLY recommend taking and using bug spray on this visit. Since this is near salt marshes and the river, there are lots of various bugs. On this particular visit, I was feasted upon by "no see-ums" and biting flies. However, that was towards the end of our visit around 4pm. Plan to spend 2-3 hours visiting and touring the grounds. It was quite serene, peaceful and beautiful there - there was a good energy in this area. We enjoyed listening to what wind talking through the cabbage palms and Spanish moss. Also, if you're quiet near the salt marshes, you can hear the mud pop.

Wonderful site with a nice new visitors' center! While the day we visited was cool and pleasant, on a warmer day, it's best to take the tram instead of walking all the way to the museum and ruins. There are all sorts of history on display, including the ecological history of the region and the roles of indigenous and enslaved people as well as the story of the setters. While the museum could use an update, the knowledgeable rangers and impressive artifacts were fantastic.

Picturesque Oak Avenue alone was worth seeing. We took the free tour which was about 45 minutes or so. The guide was a wealth of information on everything about the property including the vegetation, the tabby (not the cat) and just anything related to Wormsloe.

Beautiful scenery and the "driveway" is famous in Savannah. It's a must see while you are here, but note that it is pretty far from the downtown area and there is not much to do there besides walk around. You do have to pay to enter!

Beautiful site for photos and the canopy of oaks. Wonderful woodland trails and visitor area. We very much enjoyed the visit - of course there is no "great" house to be seen. The home on the property is private and not open to tours or adult visible during the visit of the open/public areas. We are grateful for those who make it possible for us to enjoy the public areas.

It was a beautiful fall day to walk around and explore Wormsloe. We were fortunate to arrive exactly as the docent was starting a tour at 11:00- wow, he knows his stuff! However after about a little over an hour, we just continues on our own. They have a nice gift shop, a small museum and an outdoor picnic area ( we had packed a lunch and ate under the oaks)

Entering this site brings the feeling of .. things have happened here. The massive tree lining road is impressive and something special. You're greeted by the park staff up entering who have an unbelievable amount of knowledge about this site. As you drive along the path line with the massive trees I felt like i was going back in time. and makes you realize how special this historic site truly is. Fairly easy walking paths table you to various points on the site and enjoyed the peace and quiet while being here to take it all in. it's a fairly easy ride from Savannah and worth hanging out for an hour or two .

This is a beautiful historic park! It's on the top 10 must see sights when visiting Savannah! I do believe that it is worth seeing! Make sure to have comfortable walking shoes! At the entrance you'll pay for each guest. They have a disabled veteran discount. There are kids prices and adult. I paid about $20 for 2 adults and a 5 year old. We drove through the park to the parking lot surrounded by beautiful arched trees! It was really a sight! At the tourist center, there is a bathroom and a gift shop. There are bugs out so you may want to have bug spray!! Big tip! There are many paths in the park that you can take and can end up walking a few miles easily! Bring a stroller for the younger kiddos. Dogs are allowed as long as they're leashes or carried. I wish that they had more seating areas around the park. We only came across one on our walk.

Wormsloe State Historic Site, a colonial estate that has breathtaking giant live oak trees and Spanish moss (which is free for you to come by and take photos and leave but it is worth visiting this beautiful plantation). The home that was owned by Noble Jones, one of the first English colonists to settle here in the US (who is credited to be one of Georgia's colonial founders). Noble Jones, a carpenter, began building a home here, overlooking the water route. He completed building his home in 1945 (the War of Jerkin's Ear slowed the construction of his house). The home he built is actually the oldest structure standing in the Savannah area. You can still see the remains of the home when you tour the grounds. The home was surrounded by eight-foot-high walls to protect his family from the attacks from the Spanish and Indian allies during the War of Jenkin's Ear (1739- 1748). Noble Jones played numerous of roles for the colony and also had commanded Georgia's Northern Company of Marines and also served as the colony's doctor (after that person had died, he took over the duties). Noble Jones had named his plantation "Wormslow" but his great grandson, much later on (well after Noble Jones had passed away) changed the name to "Wormsloe". Admission to visit this place is $10 for adults (Comes out to $21.40 after tax for 2 adults). Leashed dogs are welcomed on the grounds, but only service animals are allowed inside buildings, including the visitor center and museum. There are a few scenic nature trails that you can walk. If you come earlier in the day, you may be able to catch a tour (only available during designated times) and also staff dressed in the period dress providing demonstrations. There are clean restrooms by the museum that has running water, soap, toilet paper and paper towels for use. At the museum, you can view a 13-minute video about General Oglethrope (the founding father of Georgia). You can also learn about how the beginning of Georgia came to be. Being that there is quite a lot of walking involved (if you wish to tour the entire plantation by walking the trails because you aren't able to drive to it all), it is best to wear comfortable walking shoes, a hat to shade your face and water.

This is definitely a worthwhile stop if you're in the Savannah area! It's around $12 per adult for admission, and the staff seems really nice and knowledgeable. We went on a weekday afternoon, so it wasn't busy at all. The lane lined with old oak trees dripping in Spanish moss was my favorite, it felt like you were driving back 150 years in time. The museum was informative, with fun things to buy, and they have water behind the counter to buy if the vending machine outside is out of it. You'll need it if you go in the summer! There's a lot of walking paths, so don't make the mistake of wearing sandals like I did, because your feet WILL get dirty and sandy! It would have been nice if the paths through the woods were a little more defined like the main path back to the tabby ruins and had some sand down, etc but that's my only complaint. The scenery is beautiful, and the overlook lets you have an unobstructed view of the marshland. We saw a lot of skinks and squirrels running across the paths, but didn't see any other wildlife. I don't think we'd go back a second time, but we were both glad we went!

This is a must visit while in savanna . A lot of movies including ROOTS was filmed here which I found very interesting . The walk was simple with plenty of shade . They didn't have the people there doing reenactment so that was a little disappointing , but it was worth the price to just be able to walk around and look at american history.

This is an excellent natural area in the Savannah area. The family that had the plantation wanted the land to be preserved. Through years of caring for it through a conservancy it was eventually obtained by the state. The state has done a great job of keeping the land in its natural state and not overtaken by neighborhoods. Excellent walking trails. There are remnant of the past plantation. Small museum at the welcome center. The Spanish moss on the oaks is something to see. They line the 1.5 mile entrance

We went to Wormsloe on our trip to Savannah and I'm so glad we made it. It's inexpensive to go in and the staff is wonderful. We enjoyed the well kept trails and our pup enjoyed the homemade treats from the site manager! This is a must do on a Savannah vacation - a perfect break from the downtown hustle and bustle for those looking for a quiet activity.

Historic site with a museum and 2 miles of an oak-tree lined lane with Spanish moss. It's a must-do if you're in Savannah. It's a bit away from city center, but it was a 20 minute lyft/Uber ride. You can buy tickets there but note that if you're going by rideshare, they do allow them to drive all the way to the end. Otherwise, you'll have to walk the mile and a half to get to the museum. It's $10/ticket. Credit cards are accepted. It's a great photo opportunity and you can cute pics here for the 'gram. The museum is small and they have a theater that plays an introductory video the site. You'll probably spend 2-3 hours here. Bathrooms are available by the gift shop. There are picnic tables as well. They do have events and you'll see the flyers posted on the bulletin boards. Wear comfortable shoes that you don't mind getting dirty, as there are some roots and muddy spots. Bring your sunglasses and some water as well.

It cost around $10 or $12 per person to enter. There are a couple of parking lots, a picnic area, a small store and restroom when you first enter. We did the outer perimeter trail and spent a couple of hours slowly enjoying the nature. A very easy trail, not hilly. Dog and kid friendly. No seating along the way, so be mindful if you have someone that needs a lot of rest in between. There were a couple of historical things to see, but only worth seeing once - we wouldn't go back for that. A deer walked across the trail in front of us, and we saw tons of crabs on the shore, as well as some adorable birds. Unfortunately we didn't see any armadillos.

Such a beautiful site. Had to buy our ticket at the entrance and drove down the aisle of Spanish moss trees. Ended up stopping and talking to locals walking there dog who happened to live in Los Angeles as well. They were retired and ended up moving to Savannah. We drove nice and slow to enjoy the views. At the end of the drive there was a gift shop and museum of sorts. Even took a picture with our rental car in front of the site making it look like some type of car commercial. The people working there were very informative and friendly. Highly recommend checking this place out. Historical and beautiful.

Visited Wormsloe Plantation recently during a road trip from Florida to Ohio. I wasn't sure what to expect, but I had hoped that I'd learn about the history of this plantation. The entrance is stunning, like something out of a movie. The oak trees with Spanish moss hanging from them are epic looking. The long driveway and the scenery take you back to the time when the original family and slaves once lived and worked here. I was surprised to find out that there are 882 acres on the site and the ruins of the original house were still visible. The visitor center didn't focus much on Wormsloe, but Savannah in general. I found that to be disappointing. There weren't many pictures of the plantation and they don't even call it a plantation anymore, even though that's what it was. I wanted to learn more about the lives of the people that lived and worked here. I'd love to talk to the family that still lives in the mansion to learn about their family's history. I wish there were more pictures. It was interesting to see the founder's gravesite as well. I think it's amazing that this property has been passed down through eight generations and the family still lives in the house! Anyway, it's cool to visit, but the good stuff is obscured. The fields where the crops were grown are not accessible to the public. The family still lives on the property, so you don't get to see their mansion. You can't even see the mansion on Google maps, but you can Google some pictures of it. I feel like there's so much more history to this place than what you can see and experience today. The real history of Wormsloe was left to my imagination.

This is our second time coming here and WOW, it keeps getting better. The site is just so beautiful, full of history and you can immerse yourself in it. We walked the trail all the way to where the old house once stood, and we also walked to the graves. It was a good experience, not crowded at all and we were able to snap some great pictures.

This is a great place to learn history and take quiet walks through the woods. This was my favorite site during our stay in Savannah with a long drive with moss draped oaks lining the road. Don't expect to be entertained. This is a place to unwind, relax, and breathe!

We had visited Wormsloe before, about 3 years ago. That visit was at the end of March, when the site was less crowded. You enter the site through a gate at the main road. The process is then to park, obtain tickets (roughly $10 per person) at a small cabin/shack ranger station, and then proceed into the site. The signature attraction here is the 1+ mile avenue from the main gate to the visitors' center, lined the whole way with large old Live Oaks. Previously, it was possible to pull in, take some photos from the end of this avenue, and head out. We paid and visited the site last time, so the above had been our initial plan for our 2nd visit. However, they now have someone seated in a lawn chair at the gate to ensure that you pay (even to take photos) or leave. It seemed a bit restrictive. We did pay and took photos from both ends. Some people stop mid-way and do full-blown photo shoots... We parked at the visitors' center, checked it out briefly, and then did one of the main hikes out to the river and back via a loop (about a mile total). It was interesting enough, but we had seen it before. This site is definitely worth a stop.

We were very fortunate to have a personal guided tour of the exhibits with Ranger Brian Carr. Bran is so knowledgeable! We gained so much more information about Savannah than the 90 minute trolley tour we took the day before. This is a wonderful historic site with nice walking trails. The outdoor areas are dog friendly. Pets are allowed on a leash.

History, beauty, nature, Spanish moss, live oaks -- what more can visitors ask for?! This is the colonial estate of Noble Jones (1702-1775). Jones was in the first group of settlers from England and passed away right before the the American Revolution. His descendants worked to maintain Wormsloe until the state of Georgia acquired most of the plantation in 1973. These are some activities visitors could explore: Tabby Ruins, Gravesites, and Nature Trails. There are a lot of cool photos to take and history to soak in also. I would recommend arriving to the site early to avoid the crowds and to explore the trails before the sun and humidity becomes uncomfortable. $10 per adult and discounted admission rates for children, seniors, and disabled veterans.

Hubby and I stopped by during a long weekend trip in Savannah. And let me tell you, Wormsloe did not disappoint. There is so much beauty to be seen here! Gorgeous scenery and easy, walkable trails. Great for couples as well as families. Perfect place to get lost in nature. Salt marshes and live oaks for days! The 1.5 mile drive from the gate is probably one of the prettiest drives I've personally seen in the south. The entrance fee is $10 per adult, so nothing too crazy. Plus, the fees help maintain the grounds. In my opinion totally worth a visit!

ABSOLUTELY WORTH THE $10 FEE!!!! This is an excellent family friendly outing. There's a beauty and magical feeling to the charm that this site is able to embody. It was absolutely my favorite part of my visit to Savannah (as you can probably tell my the excessive amount of photos I took). The site begins with a beautiful, picturesque entrance that already lets you know that it's going to be a very worthwhile visit. Then you park your car temporarily to pay the admission fee and get a park map. Afterwards it's a breathtaking 1.5 mile drive down the main road that just makes you want to take it slow so that you can take it all of the beauty. Then you reach the parking lot of the main historic site, and beyond that it's a seriously of well outlined paths that you can take to explore the area. There's so much, including a SEPARATE 3 mile loop that takes you along the marshes. Truly a breathtaking experience and would recommend bringing your best camera so that you can capture some amazing memories.

A definite and must visit place near Savannah. The wormsloe historic site has a 2 mile road which is covered under trees and it is beautiful. The path to inside the site is breathtaking and beautiful where one can take different pictures. The ticket cost id s $10 per adult. They also have different beautiful trails which one can take and enjoy the beauty of the site. The staff is knowledgeable and friendly and they helped us with our questions regarding the site.

This place is about a 15 minute drive from the historic Savannah district and is well worth the drive. You pull up to a nice gate and there is someone directing you to park temporarily to go in to buy your ticket. From there, you start the drive down the long road lined with oak trees. The road was longer than I thought it would be and there were many good photo locations (and some on the way out). Once at the main parking lot, the beginning of the trail is there. There are also bathrooms and a gift shop. The outer trail has all of the sites and they are well summarized to not be too long, but give you what you need to know. There are audio parts along the way as well. We loved the small replica house as the kids got to go upstairs in it and be cozy up there. The gentleman who works in the garden was amazing as well. He was so passionate and gave lots of good info. We were there a little over an hour and felt like we did it all!

Wormsloe is one of those "must see" sites of Savannah...that ends up being a little bit disappointing. The entrance to the site is the best part of the whole thing...the long straight dirt road is surrounded by a beautiful canopy of tress...a perfect picture spot for your Instagram, as well as millions of others. $10 gets you into the park site itself which is really not all that exciting. Depending on your attention span and physical capacity, you'll spend 30-90 minutes wandering the paths, looking at some very beaten down ruins and shacks. If you're really into Southern history, you'll love it. If not...its okay. Be sure to wear comfortable shoes, leave those high heels in your hotel room! Assuming its a typical Savannah day, be sure to bring sunscreen bug repellent, and a water bottle!

This is a great spot for a photo op and then some. What a nice site for a bit of Georgia history, kept and restored as it was back during the yester years of the deep south. It's easy to imagine what it must have been like with well preserved spots like this one. I like the name of this site, Skidway. The archway is simple and clean and gives hint to the archway of trees to come. It was erected in 1913. It's $10/pp with tax. The Tabby ruins were built in 1745. It's a nice way to be in touch with nature and you can see the sites at your own leisure. You can find some small crabs moving sideways along the way.

I loved this place. It was more than I expected. The entrance with all the trees lining the main road, covered in Spanish moss was quite a sight to see! My young sons enjoyed hiking down the hiking trails to the ruins. The icing on the cake was the interpretation by Aaron, who taught us about what life was like for those early settlers. The musket firing and starting a fire were a lot of fun. The boys really enjoyed it. A great way to spend a few hours.

Beautiful grounds. We enjoyed the views and the wildlife. A Great Blue Heron soared over our heads. And we saw armadillos strolling around.

This is a great place to relax and enjoy the out doors. Now be carful when you are on the hike trails. Don't ever forget you are ina swampland and wild reptiles and alligators are present. I saw two snakes and one alligator to close for me taste but I saw them last minute. Than goodness it was not interested in me. Even though I believe I would have made some good catch as fat as I am. Lol. I realized I am in their environment and need to behave to their rules. I am a scaredy-cat anyways with things that have more legs than me. Lol. But it's such an awesome place to take great nature pictures and sun light pictures. But please do that with a. Partner who can look out as you look through a lens if you ask me. Lol but other than that I loved it.
