Wormsloe Historic Site

The entrance to Wormsloe

After obtaining a land grant of 500 acres, a man called Noble Jones built a fortified home along the Skidaway river about halfway between the Atlantic Ocean and Savannah, Georgia.   This home was a part of many defensive structures coordinated by James Oglethorpe, the founder of Georgia, to protect the colony from a potential Spanish invasion.  Today Wormsloe consists of the remains of the tabby constructed home, a colonial life demonstration area, a one and a half mile oak lined avenue, and a large mansion built by Jones' descendants.

The Avenue of Oaks

We road our bikes from the Isle of Hope Marina to Wormsloe Historic Site and through the Avenue of Oaks.  We discovered that many people have wedding photographs taken here.  We have to agree this would be a great place for a wedding.
