Review:

Visiting the magnificent, authentically furnished Gordon family home, which looks just as it did in 1886, is a truly marvelous experience. Famous for being Savannah’s first Registered National Historic Landmark, this old mansion is a wonderful example of the city’s romantic past. However, the real reason to visit this remarkable place is to learn about Juliette Gordon Low, the founder of Girl Scouts of the USA.

This fine 51-year-old lady from a rich Southern family started a worldwide movement that promoted girls’ strength, individuality, and intellect through new outdoor and educational programs in 1912. The house, the place of Low’s birth, is now owned and managed by the American Girl Scouts. The house contains collections of Juliette’s possessions and fine art as well as an excellent library that focuses on the literary tradition of the written word created by women across cultures and throughout time.
