A cool, shady avenue lined with ancient live oaks covered in Spanish moss will take you to the ruins of Wormsloe Historic Site, the colonial home and estate of Noble Jones. Jones was one of the first settlers who came to the area from England in 1733. A trained carpenter, Jones worked as constable, doctor, Royal Councilor, Indian agent, and surveyor while establishing the towns of New Ebenezer and Augusta. He did well for himself and built a large estate near Savannah.
Wormsloe's tabby ruin is the oldest standing structure in Savannah and is a popular tourist attraction. Interpreters dressed in period costumes entertain visitors with stories of the past and the adventures of Noble Jones, and there is a museum with various artifacts located at Wormsloe. There is a scenic hiking trail leading to the Colonial Life Area, which was built for special events about Georgia's colonial past.
