The Andrew Low House Museum located on Lafayette Square in Savannah’s beautiful Historic District. This home is a nationally known 1840s historic home and garden open to the public seven days a week. Andrew Low II was a young Scottish immigrant who became a very successful businessman. He and his wife, Mary Cowper Stiles Low, lived in the home with their children during the turbulent years leading up to and during the Civil War. The enslaved and free people of color who lived and labored at the site play a central role in the story of the home’s history. Juliette Gordon Low, founder of the Girl Scouts, was the Lows’ daughter-in-law and lived in the home for many years. Much of the early planning and formation of the Girl Scouts took place at the site.

In the 20th century, the Andrew Low House evolved from a home to the headquarters for The National Society of The Colonial Dames of America in the State of Georgia, and is now an important historic house museum that gives life to local, national, and international history.
