Description
Even after visiting nearby Hilton Head for many years we had never been to Wormsloe Plantation. We arrived in the afternoon and managed to stay to sunset getting these amazing sunbeams down Wormsloe Oak Alley. which always makes me happy. Also available in color.
The Wormsloe Historic Site, known as Wormsloe Plantation, is a state historic site near Savannah, Georgia. The site is 822 acres protecting part of what was once the Wormsloe Plantation, a large estate established by one of Georgia's colonial founders, Noble Jones.
Pictured is the Live Oak Avenue.
The Jones' house is now in ruins. In 1736, Noble Jones obtained a grant for 500 acres of land on the Isle of Hope that would form Wormsloe. The house was constructed between 1739 and 1745 using wood and tabby, a crude type of concrete made from oyster shells and lime. He constructed a fortified house on the southeastern tip of the island overlooking the Skidaway Narrows, located along the Intracoastal Waterway roughly halfway between downtown Savannah and the Atlantic Ocean.
The fortified house was part of a network of defensive structures established by James Oglethorpe, founder of Georgia, and early Georgia colonists to protect Savannah from a potential Spanish invasion.
Come take a peak at my fine art gallery where you will find more pictures of the area.
