Old Sorrel–Weed House Museum (Sorrel–Weed House)

The Old Sorrel–Weed House Museum, commonly called the Sorrel–Weed House or Francis Sorrel House, is a large historic residence on Madison Square in Savannah, Georgia. It is described in available sources as one of the finest examples of Greek Revival and Regency architecture in the city, one of the largest houses in Savannah at approximately 10,000 square feet, and among the first homes in Georgia designated as a State Landmark in 1954. The house was opened to the public by the organization that became the Historic Savannah Foundation in 1940 and was reopened for public tours in 2005; it is currently operated as the Old Sorrel–Weed House Museum. In contemporary cultural contexts the Sorrel–Weed House is incorporated into Savannah's marketed haunted-tourism identity. Sources indicate the museum conducts evening Historical Ghost Tours inside the house and has permitted media productions to film on site, with popular-cultural materials describing the mansion as "haunted." The supplied research does not include first-hand paranormal-investigation reports, named spirits, detailed witness narratives, or investigator analyses. Where claims of haunting appear in the sources they are presented in promotional or artistic contexts rather than as documented investigative findings. Further primary-source research (museum archives, local historical records, oral histories, or investigator reports) would be required to establish specific alleged phenomena, named entities, original construction dates, or historically documented incidents tied to the house.
