When I was planning my
stay in Savannah, I kept coming across pictures of a long lane lined
with massive, mossy oak trees, but with no caption as to where it
was. I knew I wanted to go there, but where was it??? I was thrilled
when I finally saw it identified as Wormsloe
Historic Site and it was just 6 miles from Skidaway
Island State Park, where I was staying at the time!

Just
driving through the archway, I could already start feeling the magic
of this wonderful place and had one of those "Oh Yippeee!"
moments that make me so glad I started RVing to get to see these
kind of things..

View of the 1-1/2 mile drive from the entrance. Drive slowly through
the 400 oak trees planted in the early 1890's and savor the charm
that just drips from these massive, mossy beings.

Walk
from the museum toward the nature trail, 18th century plantation
ruins and Colonial Life area. Be sure to see the short film about
the site at the museum before heading out for exploring.

from the museum toward the exit - but I didn't want to leave!

2 cents: At
least so far, this is my favorite of all places I've seen
in Savannah. Besides the breathtaking beauty, there's just
something wonderful about the feel of the place and the history
that breathes through the moss-filled old oaks.

| While
I really recommend making this a day trip while staying at Skidaway
Island, if you're just passing through Savannah, there is RV parking
and a large turnaround at the site past the main museum parking lot. |
