The draw to Savannah may come from attractions like River Street and Forsyth Park, but the city also offers access to a rich history. This Southern Belle of a city is host to a major historic district and flourishing nearby plantations. One of the most well-known plantations near Savannah, Wormsloe Plantation, is situated less than thirty minutes from The Inn on West Liberty.
Why the Wormsloe Plantation Is a Must-See
History
Dive into Savannah’s history with this incredible property. The mid-18th century brought Noble James to Georgia with local Savannah history legend James Oglethorpe as one of the first English settlers. He built what is now the tabby ruins of the home, which was protected from the Spanish by the estate’s surrounding land. The family that James left went on to preserve the tabby ruins that we see today.
Fun for Everyone
Whether it’s a family vacation with the kids or a girls’ getaway, Wormsloe Plantation hosts things to do for everyone. There is a myriad of programs and events to help shine a light on the plantation and its history. Complete your trip with a walking tour through the treasure-filled museum. For $10 or less per person, it’s a fun, inexpensive way to explore Savannah.
Get Outside
Create your own walking tour at the Wormsloe Plantation nature trail. Weave through the estate and explore the expansive, historic property. The path also brings you to the Colonial Life Area to explore what life was like when Noble James was around.
