The Breathtaking House Museum In Georgia You Must Visit This Fall
There’s certainly no shortage of historic buildings in Georgia. From our small towns to our metropolitan areas, we’ve got historic homes, battlefields, and so much more in just about every corner of the Peach State. If you’re looking to tour historic homes, it doesn’t get much better than a trip to Savannah, Georgia. The Hostess City is home to so many gorgeous antebellum homes, many of which have been converted into museums. One of the most interesting, and beautiful, to visit is the Juliette Gordon Low birthplace.
The home was the birthplace of Juliette Gordon Low. She was born in 1860 to a wealthy family and would return to this house throughout her life.
It was built in 1818 for Savannah mayor James Moore Wayne. When he moved to Washington D.C. to serve in the House of Representatives, the house was sold to Juliette Gordon Low's grandparents. Four generations of her family would live here.
The house was actually under threat of being demolished in the mid-1950s, but Girl Scouts from all over the world raised money to purchase and restore the building.
Lisa loves animals and has dogs, rats, cats, guinea pigs, and snakes. Practically all of her free time is spent trapping and fixing stray cats. She also likes reading, playing Pokemon Go, and going to concerts. Her dog Cece is the best dog in the whole world. You can reach Lisa at lsammons@onlyinyourstate.com
