Description
This architecturally stunning home is where the Girl Scouts Founder Juliette Gordon Low was born. The home is called "The Birthplace" by the Girl Scouts organization and was actually Savannah's first National Historic Landmark. The house, built in 1821, was refurbished to reflect the elegant era of the 1880s Victorian Style. The house is open for the public to tour and learn more about the history and culture of the Girl Scouts organization. Some of Low's personal artwork is also on display here.
