Not sure why I expected more detail on the girl scouts but I did, and all that is here is the house, the furniture, of JGL, and although it's lovely, it's also kind of boring and stuffy.

We took several Girl Scouts to visit the Juliette Low House. The tour of the house was informative and interesting. The staff were helpful with all questions.

We visited as a stop on a Motorcoach trip. It seemed like a corny stop for adults but the guide provided a concise, informative & interesting of Mrs. Low's life. I recommend this venue to anyone travelling to Savannah.

As a former Girl Scout, I couldn't visit Savannah without seeing Juliette's home. It was well worth the money, very interesting tour and a beautiful home!

Very interesting tour and information about Juliet "Daisy" Lowe's early life. She was quite an accomplished artist also.

This place was special. It was frozen in time. A great deal of effort was made to tell the story of the Mother of Girl Scouts and the home does the rest. We could visualize Mrs. Low sliding down the banisters. This was my favorite home in Savannah.

My friend wanted to go here because her daughter is a Girl Scout. I thought it would be boring. I was SO wrong. Juliette Low was an extremely interesting person and I loved the house and all it's beautiful furnishings and history. If you only can go to 1 museum in Savannah, make it this one.

Our guide told us if we wanted to tour just one home in Savannah, in her opinion, this was the best. We found the tour be be very well done, extremely informative with most of the original furniture and furnishings still in the house. It is also one of the most reasonably priced tours and has a lovely gift shop... More
