Juliette Gordon Low Birthplace
10 E Oglethorpe Ave., Savannah, Georgia
Once home to Girl Scouts founder Juliette Gordon Low, this historic mansion has been restored to its 19th-century glory and offers tours and hosts Girl Scout events. Visit the first National Historic Landmark in Savannah to see exhibits that follow the Low family and the genesis of the Girl Scouts.
Owned and operated by Girl Scouts of the USA, the restored mansion is adorned with period pieces, artwork, and exhibits on the Girl Scout movement and its founder. Prebook your tour as they are required for entry. Combine a trip to Juliette Gordon Low Birthplace with other Savannah stops on a historic walking tour or via hop-on hop-off trolley. Visiting on a guided city tour gives you a broad look into Savannah’s rich history and architecture.
The mansion is a popular stop for Girl Scouts, architecture enthusiasts, and history buffs.
Book tickets in advance—some tours cater to Girl Scouts and others are geared to the general public. Be aware that tours sell out and self-guided tours are not permitted.
Leave time at the end of your tour to visit the courtyard gardens and gift shop.
The mansion is fully wheelchair accessible, but gravel paths in the garden limit navigation of the outdoor areas.
