Operated by Andrew Low House Museum · Savannah, Georgia
Step inside a cool, high-ceilinged parlor on Lafayette Square and the city changes feel immediate: the street noise softens, sun through tall windows paints the floorboards, and a docent begins a story shaped by commerce, design and family life.
Built in 1848–49 by New York architect John S. Norris, the Andrew Low House combines Greek Revival form with Italianate details. The guided, docent-led tour follows first-floor parlors, the library and formal dining room, then climbs to upstairs bedrooms, a rare indoor bathroom for the period and a children’s playroom. The house’s original mid-century parterre garden survives intact — one of the few 19th-century gardens in Savannah open to the public — and the property carries a direct link to Juliette Gordon Low, the Girl Scouts’ founder, who lived here as a child.
Beyond architecture, the tour addresses the social history of the Low family and the enslaved people who lived and labored at the home, offering context to Savannah’s mercantile past. The museum is owned and maintained by the National Society of The Colonial Dames of America, who preserve both building and garden.
Practicalities: tours depart about every 30 minutes and last roughly an hour; arrive 10–15 minutes early to ensure your spot. Wear comfortable shoes for historic floorboards and bring a light layer — older houses can be cool inside. Public transit and short walks connect the house to other squares, museums and coffee shops; budget an extra 30–60 minutes to visit the garden and nearby historic sites.
