Entrance Gate to the Wormsloe State Historic Site in Savannah

The two dates engraved on the arch: 1733 represents the year Noble Jones first arrived in Savannah, 1913 marks the year the arch was erected
A breathtaking avenue sheltered by live oaks and Spanish moss leads to the tabby ruins of Wormsloe, the colonial estate of Noble Jones (1702–1775). Jones was a humble carpenter who arrived in Georgia in 1733 with James Oglethorpe and the first group of settlers from England. Wormsloe's tabby ruin is the oldest standing structure in Savannah.
