Built in 1820, the Juliette Gordon Low Birthplace at 10 East Oglethorpe Avenue is a historic home museum notable as the birthplace of Juliette Gordon Low (born 1860), founder of the Girl Scouts of the USA. The house is described in sources as Savannah's first registered National Historic Landmark and is included within both the Savannah Historic District and the Juliette Gordon Low Historic District. It is preserved and interpreted by museum staff, with guided programming and published material interpreting Low's life and the home's history. The site interpretation includes social history beyond the Low family: museum programming and materials discuss enslaved persons connected to the Gordon household, including a named individual referred to as "Nancy" and her cultural contribution in the form of benne cakes. Sources indicate active Tours & Education staff and an on-site museum program, but none of the provided documents report any paranormal phenomena, hauntings, apparitions, or other unexplained events at the property. Because the supplied sources are historical and interpretive, they focus on architectural, social, and institutional significance rather than supernatural claims. For investigations into alleged hauntings or paranormal theories, additional sources beyond those supplied would be required.
