The Juliette Gordon Low Birthplace is a National Historic Landmark, the Wayne-Gordon House. It was completed in 1821 and is an outstanding example of Regency architecture. Saved from demolition by the Girl Scouts, the house has been returned to its 1886 glory.

I have been told the home is the first to have indoor plumbing in Savannah, have heard it is haunted, and it really is a interesting place to visit. The home is furnished with family pieces and 19th-century decorative art -- much of it created by Juliette Gordon Low herself (I had no idea she was such a talented artist).

They offer guided tours throughout the day and you will learn some interesting facts about the founder of the Girls Scouts and her family.

There also is a museum where special patches are available for your girl scout.

Girl Scouts travel from across the U.S.A. to visit this home, but lucky us -- we only have to travel an hour up the road!

Make sure to give it a visit next time you head up to lovely Savannah.
