Wormsloe (Wormslow) Plantation, Savannah GA

If you like walking in the woods with a little history thrown in, this is the place for you. You may hear the Sounds of Freedom (fighter jets) fly by.
If you want to tour the interior of a historic home, this is NOT the place to go.
A breathtaking avenue lined with live oaks leads to the tabby ruins of Wormsloe, the colonial estate constructed by Noble Jones, one of Georgias first settlers. Jones was an English physician and carpenter who carved out an even wider career in the colonial wilderness. He came to Savannah with James Oglethorpe in 1733 and commanded a company of Marines charged with Georgias coastal defense. Jones served as constable, Indian agent, surveyor (laying out New Ebenezer and Augusta) and member of the Royal Council. He was also one of few original settlers to survive hunger, plague, Indians, Spaniards and a new environment.
