Girls Scouts was originally founded by Juliette Gordon Low in Savannah in 1912. In 1950 the birth place of Juliette had to be saved from demolition and the GSUSA took over the ownership and operation responsibilities of the place converting it as a center for National Girl Scout Program and a historic house museum. These efforts have paid rich dividends in the form of over 65,000 visitors every year from across the nation and the globe.

The GSUSA has thus succeeded in positioning the birth place of Juliette Gordon Low as a landmark in honor of one of the most remarkable women of America. The vibrant story, organizational achievements and artistic talents of Juliette thus continue to inspire visitors through several generations.

The contributions made by Juliette to the lives of Girls and the American culture have contributed to making her birthplace a most visited historic house museum not only in Georgia but also across the nation. You should make sure that your travel deals to Savannah include a visit to this museum.
