This is more than the birthplace of Girl Scouts of America. The tour and history of Juliette Gordon Low's house is a wonderful experience. Even learning about her mother Nellie and her involvement with General Sherman was better. Not to be missed.

Founder of the American Girl Guide (now Girl Scouts) lived in this house on and off for many years and the house is decorated in the early 20c period. Lovely house to visit.

Completely redone house where Juliette Gordon Low lived. Much more on her & her family then on the Girl Scouts. The outside is currently being redone to remove stucco that was added at the last renovation.

Okay, so this place aims at Girl Scouts and former Girl Scouts and will spend much of the time focusing on this chapter of Juliette's life. Understandable.

We went there on the last minute and loved it. Learned so much about how Girl Scouts started and about Juliette's family and how she decided to start GS.

What amazed me the most is how talented Juliette Low was. Her sculptures, wood carving, and other artwork were lovely and exhibited her skills and self-confidence. I also appreciated perusing her library collection.

The entire outside structure is being renovated right now and hopefully will be completed sometime in 2013. The inside is still able to tour and was excellent to see the time period of when Juliette was born. The docents were very knowledgeable.
