The Andrew Low House, a Greek Revival/Italianate mansion, was built in 1849 for cotton merchant Andrew Low, who passed it to his son, William, and daughter-in-law, Juliette Gordon Low, founder of the Girl Scouts. The home served as the Girl Scouts' headquarters until 1913. It’s the oldest building on Lafayette Square.

Docent-led tours cover first-floor parlors, the dining room, and the library, plus upstairs bedrooms furnished with period antiques, silver, and Duncan Phyfe pieces. Outside, don't miss one of only three surviving original 19th-century Savannah gardens, with its Elizabethan-inspired double-hourglass design.

No, reservations aren't required for individuals or groups of 10 or fewer. (Though if you prefer, you can buy tickets online.) Tours run every 30 minutes throughout the day, so you can typically show up and join the next departure. Groups of 10 or more should contact the museum directly.

Yes, especially for history and architecture fans. It's one of Savannah's few "preserved, not restored" house museums, with some furnishings original to the Low family. The Girl Scouts connection and the rare 19th-century garden, one of only three left in the city, give it an edge over other historic-home stops.
