Juliette Gordon Low Historic District

Why go

The Wayne-Gordon House, known as Low's Birthplace, the Andrew Low House and the First Girl Scout Headquarters each illuminate a different part of her life and the movement she founded. Their separation across the historic district invites a comparison between family home, later household and the organization's early work. Walking between them makes the shift from Low's private world to the movement's public work clear in the cityscape.

What to look for

• The Wayne-Gordon House is Juliette Gordon Low's Birthplace.
• The Andrew Low House adds another family setting to her Savannah story.
• The First Girl Scout Headquarters points to the movement's early organizing work.

The full story

Juliette Gordon Low's Savannah story is spread among buildings rather than contained in a single museum. The Wayne-Gordon House was her Birthplace, with family alterations made in the late nineteenth century. The Andrew Low House adds another domestic setting associated with her life. The First Girl Scout Headquarters points to the organization she founded and the work that followed from those family spaces. Together they show a progression from personal background to a national movement, though each building has its own operator and access arrangements. The Birthplace's preservation by Girl Scouts gave visitors a direct link to Low's family environment, including art associated with her. On a walk through the historic district, pay attention to the different purposes of the three addresses. A tour of one house should never be mistaken for seeing the whole district.

Useful to know

• Pick the building whose story matters most before seeking an interior tour.
• Check each operator separately for access; a Birthplace reservation does not cover the whole district.
