In Savannah, Georgia, three buildings closely linked to Juliette Gordon Low trace her life and the founding of Girl Scouts of the USA. Her birthplace, the Wayne–Gordon House, was built in 1820; Low was born there in 1860 and held early informal meetings there after returning from England in 1911 inspired by the Girl Guides. The first Girl Guides troop was organized at the Andrew Low House on March 12, 1912, and the nearby Andrew Low Carriage House soon served as the movement’s first headquarters until 1913. Together these architecturally significant properties preserve the beginnings of a national movement launched in Savannah.
