Our B&B Hostess suggested this for a visit. We happened to be there on a "free weekend". That was a bonus, but would be worth an admission price. The drive in was beautiful as others have suggested. A well done video re-enacts the life of the settler, Noble Jones. The site is named for his Welsh home, "WORMSLOE". The visitor... more

Wormsloe is the site of an old plantation's ruins built by one of the colony's first inhabitants, Noble Jones. The tree-lined drive is just spectacular and reminds one of the long palatial drives in Europe. The documentary shown in the Visitors Center is contemporary and very educational. If we get a chance to go again, I'm definitely going to try... more

The long road lined with oak trees is reason enough to visit this site. There is not much to the place, but that doesn't mean it isn't worth doing. The video is short and lean, but still enough to set you up for the short walk down to the remains of a house that was built before the Revolutionary War.... more

This was a worthy break from the Savannah action. It is not a far drive and the property is beautiful....great history too. Really it is worth it just to see the live oaks lining the drive to the marshes...just amazing! more

The video offered at this site does give you a bit of Georgia history, though I cringe at the few "probably's" in it. I was dissappointed that there wasn't much information regarding life on the plantation- for the family that owned it, for the indentured servants and soldiers that worked there and for the slaves. However, although the historical substance... more

If you enjoy Colonial History and/or nature, visit Wormsloe. The tree line drive is absolutely beautiful ( take pictures ). The trail leading out to the ruins of Noble Jones' home along the river is well worth the walk. There is also a small cemetery, nature trail back to the visitor center, and other structures. Be sure to see the... more

I have been to visit three times (as different people were with me each time visted). I recommend seeing the video which I believe runs every 20 minutes. It gives you a great overview of the early history of Savannah. The ruins of the fortified house at Wormsloe are all that remains of this era in the entire U.S. (When... more

The only thing good about it is the oak lined street. The view of the old river is pretty, but other than that wouldn't go out of my way to see, trust me. more
