Wormsloe Historic Site (Once Upon A Time in the South East, Part IV)

Our last morning in Savannah was spent touring the Wormsloe Historic Site.  Bo and Taylor had had some family photos shot there and I was envious: it was a must-see for me! I was not disappointed.

The first thing you see when you drive up to this former plantation is a magnificent stone gate. It wasn't the sunniest day out, and I shot this thing from about 12 different angles before settling on the the majesty that was the straight-on centered doorway, dominated only by the glorious oak trees and draping spanish moss.

Once past the gate, you are greeted by 400 giant oak trees, beckoning you to get out of the car and take a walk to make sure you don't miss a single detail.

 

There are plenty of man made structures within the grounds, depicting how life on the plantation in the 1700's would have been lived. A few are the actual historic frameworks of various buildings used over the years on the site. My favorite parts, though, were all natural and required absolutely no human assistance.

At approximately 3:00 that afternoon, having had discovered only a fraction of Savannah's treasures, we headed back to the house and packed up the cars for a two hour drive across state lines.
