A walking trail leads to the 1737 tabby ruins of the oldest remaining structure in the Savannah. Trails meander past scenic marsh views to the Colonial Life Area, where costumed interpreters provide living history demonstrations in the afternoons, weather permitting. Five more miles of nature trails are available for those who are more adventurous. « less

This park is about 10 minute drive from downtown Savannah. It covers an old estate from one of the city's founders. The entrance to the park has almost 1 mile of trees that completely cover the road as they mingle together overhead. Take the walking tour to truly enjoy the estate. Nice view of river at home ruins.

The drive in to Wormsloe is one of the most beautiful sights we saw during our trip to Savannah. If you're into history, this is a must-see. Take time to stroll the pathways.

This is a pretty cool site though it closes at 5pm and there are about 3 walking trails around the entire area that are each close to 1 mile or longer. We went around 4pm so only had time to walk to the ruins and back. Very pretty so just make sure you have time to explore and get your... More

won't take you long, not much to see or do here, but what there is, is an amazing glimpse back in time. An easy wonderful nature walk back to the ruins. Pure natural beauty. A must see if you are visiting or if you live here and have never done it. Take your company, you will not be dissapointed!

The drive to the ruins is lined by majestic moss covered oaks that arch over the roadway creating a spectacular entrance. There's a sign up asking that you not take any photos or walk in until you've paid the entrance fee ($10 per person). Pay the fee and take your picture. It's also a place couples choose for weddings.

The whole shebang here is the driveway. It is absolutely stunning to drive down the mile and a half drive, but $10 per person seems a bit steep if that is all you want to do. If you want to hike up to the ruins or take a picnic it is probably worthwhile. We happily paid our $20 basically to... More

A great addition to earning the history of how the Savannah colony was created. The oak alley is one of the longest ever, great photography.

The entrance is lovely. You can almost picture what life was like years ago for the family who entered the property down the long tree lined driveway. There is no home on the site, just the ruins. They have a short informational video to watch in the visitors center, which was very good. It gave you the history of the... More

The entrance to Wormsloe is beautiful. Driving through the live oaks is breathtaking. The park also has a nice visitors center and interesting ruins of the original house and out buildings.
