Wormsloe Historic Site

This place is beautiful. The drive down the avenue of the oaks is so picturesque it doesn’t seem fully real. Some decent trails and good info on the plantation, but going down the main drive is the real attraction.

Went back and discovered the tabby (building material made of oyster shells) ruins of the original house just .15 miles from the visitor’s center. You’ll see the path if you enter the atrium of the center. It’s worth the walk, and you can look out on the marsh with the backdrop of the jurassic forest.

It didn’t seem like much. And it was a little too much money for something like that when you have a lot of people.

822 acres (3.33 km2) protecting part of what was once the Wormsloe Plantation. The oak lined drive is breath taking. Well worth the $ 10 per person admission.
To be honest I just wanted to take a few pic of that awesome mossy oak tunnel at the enterance. spend 5 minutes playing with the camera and head out so I didn’t feel honor bound to go in and pay the fee. But my every white bread husband … did so we did. Either way it was worth the stop and just as gorgeous as the pics id seen. if I went back would probably visit again and perhaps more fully explore there.

A beautiful driveway, perhaps one of the best in the country, but some nasty staff and no restroom

Visited Wormsloe today. The best part is the driveway lined with oak trees. Originally they planted over 400 live oaks along this long driveway to the original tabby ruins built by Noble Jones in the early 1890s
I expected a lot more from the experience other then a long walk around the woods.
The short video in the museum was informational but I’d pass on the walk unless you have unlimited time to kill. I’d suggest spending the time you do at other homes to tour.
The biggest disappointment was you are not permitted to even drive by the plantation home. I realize people live there now but just a peak at the façade would have been nice for the money you are paying to walk around.
The best photo op is at the entrance which is totally free!

It’s ok good history. They could just do a lot more with the site. A lot of walking and not much to see. Very educational

What a great place for a date! Or a family picnic ! Lovely shaded and mostly level hiking trails. Trails go past the river landing, tabby ruins, the Manor house, fragrant wildflowers& ancient angel oaks dripping with Spanish moss. When people say they would like to «see a real southern plantation «- Wormsloe is where you are picturing .
The oak lined entry way alone is worth the visit. Best place to take pictures of your «southern vacation».

It is worth going to just see the iconic drive with the live oaks lining the road into the plantation site. The view literally takes your breath away. Its a scene straight out of a movie. There is an informative movie that is very quick, about 15 minutes that tells you about Noble John and how the site came to be. I recommend taking the guided tour to get the history behind everything you’re seeing. Note that you will only be seeing ruins of the former Tabby House that used to sit on the site.

Wormsloe was gorgeous to drive through down the main road, but personally I thought $ 10 per person is way too much money for a drive through and the walking trails.

I really enjoyed my visit to Wormsloe Historic Site.
The avenue of the oaks is straight out of a fairytale! The spanish miss and ferns growing from the oaks has created something naturally beautiful.
I also went on a tour with a guide and I definitely recommend that if you like history! I learned a lot. It was really interesting! It was a little over an hour long. There’s a golf cart for those not able to walk, but it is a walking tour of the grounds so wear appropriate shoes. Oh yeah, and the tour is included in the $ 10 admission so definitely take advantage of it!

DO stop here if you are visiting Savannah. We were in Savannah only for 2 days and even though it was raining the day we were to leave, we decided to make the trip to Wormsloe! The entrance to the plantation is breathtaking! The old gateway is beautiful and if you have an interest in history, you will find this visit extremely useful.
There is a small cottage at the entrance where we had to stop and get tickets to visit the plantation. This is also a great spot to take photos of the lovely road lined with majestic Oaks. Once we drove through magnificent the tree lined street, we arrived at the small museum where we watched a short film on the history of the plantation and how it is linked to the history of Savannah!
The grounds are beautiful and there are a couple of trails to walk on. Despite the light rain, we waked out onto one of the trails. It led us to the ruins of the house where the owner used to once live. Further along the trail is a section called the ‘reenactment’ where they have created a small cottage, fire pit etc as an imitation of what life was like back in the days.
Had a lovely time despite the rain. Definitely recommend!
