Savannah, GA
Wormsloe is located outside Savannah, GA. The picturesque entrance meanders through the estate and is lined with over 400 live oak trees planted in the early 1890s to commemorate the birth of De Renne’s son, Wymberley Jr. The masonry archway entrance was erected to mark Wymberley coming of age. Descendents of Noble Jones still live on the estate. There is one wall standing of the original house that took almost 6 years to build. Although Noble Jones and his family are no longer buried on the grounds their original grave sites are still in tact.
Pooler, GA
The National Museum of the Mighty Eighth Air Force is located in Pooler, GA. This museum is to honor Air Force personnel from mechanics to pilots. There is a B-17 Bomber on display along with many uniforms and awards.
The Fly Girls of WWII has an exhibit and what hit me most is that the U.S. government refused to pay to bring their bodies home if they were killed.
