The Sorrel Weed House in Savannah, Georgia is one of the most popular and highest viewed historic location in the state. This 16000 feet mansion was completed in 1841 and originally belonged to Francis Sorrel. Interestingly, today it is more popular among tourists as the infamous haunted house rather than the historic landmark that it is supposed to be. Several authorities claim to have proofs of the place being haunted and tourist officials have well cashed in on this chance. Today, tourists as well as locals of all age groups crow here to enjoy the famous Ghost Tour.
The location to the opposite of the Colonial Park cemetery has provided it with the ideal environment for being the haunted place that it is! Arrangements for both day and enchanting candlelight tours are made here. Apart from the mansion, it will be a sheer delight to have a view of some of the best preserved 19th century furniture, carriage house and gardens. The architecture can surely transport you into the aura of a bygone era and is a first rate example of Greek revival architecture. Today it has been designated as a National Trust Historic Landmark.
The sheer area of the mansion has given it the distinction of being the largest house in Savannah. The Sorrel Weed House comes within the purview of the Historic District which reminds one of the Spanish colonies in America. The moss-draped trees, the cobblestone streets and flower bedecked entranceways make one quite nostalgic. Other attractions in the District include monuments, graves and some statues located in other separate grids. These treasures of history have been very well preserved and together with the ghost factor adding double temptation, a tour of the Sorrel Weed House should not be missed by anyone. Buy tickets and take a trip of this “old town†when you are in Savannah, Georgia.
