About Wormsloe Historic Site

Wormsloe preserves the colonial estate of Noble Jones, a carpenter who came to Georgia with James Oglethorpe in 1733. Visitors walk a shaded avenue to tabby ruins, one of the oldest standing structures in Savannah. A museum displays artifacts found on the grounds, and a nature trail runs past the ruins along the marsh to a Colonial Life Area where demonstrators in period dress show colonial skills. Seasonal events such as a February colonial fair draw crowds.
