Wormsloe State Historic Site

The 822-acre state historic site contains an oak-lined avenue stretching 1.5 miles toward ruins of a fortified colonial house and demonstration areas.

Noble Jones established the plantation in 1736 after receiving a 500-acre land grant, constructing a defensive structure using oyster shell-based tabby material against Spanish threats.

The site maintains an interpretive center featuring artifacts and exhibits about colonial Georgia life, including demonstrations of 18th-century activities and military practices.

The grounds include a museum, visitor center, nature trails, demonstration areas, and parking facilities with standard admission fees covering access to all attractions.

The fortified house walls, built between 1739 and 1745, incorporate tabby construction made from crushed oyster shells, standing as the oldest structural remains in Savannah.
