On the cOver Paula, Bobby and Jamie Deen explore Savannah’s
Wormsloe Historic Site. The breathtaking avenue sheltered by live oaks and
Spanish moss leads to the tabby ruins of Wormsloe, the colonial estate of
Noble Jones (1702–1775). Jones was a physician and carpenter who arrived
in Georgia in 1733 with James Oglethorpe and the irst group of settlers from
England. Wormsloe’s ruins are the oldest standing structures in Savannah.
Today, visitors can talk with uniformed interpreters and view a museum with
artifacts unearthed at Wormsloe, as well as a short ilm about the site and
the founding of Georgia. A scenic nature trail leads past the tabby ruins to
a living-history area where, during programs, demonstrators in period dress
exhibit the tools and skills of colonial Georgia.
