Wormsloe Historic Site

Come meet one of Georgia's first settlers, Noble Jones. Jones was an English physician and carpenter who carved out an even wider career in the colonial wilderness. He came to Savannah with James Oglethorpe in 1733. The tabby ruins on the Isle of Hope remind us of the dreams and lives of British colonists who settled Georgia. Today, visitors can view artifacts excavated at Wormsloe and a film about the founding of the 13th colony. This site is on the Colonial Coast Birding Trail.
