 Watch raw footage of the House Blessing ceremony at the Birthplace 1955 ('57?) |
The
birthplace of Juliette Low was purchased by National Girl Scouts in 1953 and
was
restored
to a late 1880's decor and opening to the public in October 1956. It was the
first Registered National Historic Landmark in Savannah. Girl Scouts and
Girl Guides from all over the world come to visit.
Daisy's
adult home as a wife and widow is operated by the Colonial Dames as the And
rew
Low House. It is known for more than being Juliette's home. The Carriage
House that became the 1st headquarters of Girl Scouting is directly behind
the Andrew Low House and works as the council shop for the GSC of Savannah.
Juliette Low was laid to rest in the family plot at Laurel Grove North Cemetery. She was buried in her full Girl Scout uniform, her Silver Fish award (a high honor from the Girl Guides) and her special jeweled Thanks Badge. A note was tucked inside her pocket:
You are not only the first Girl Scout, you are the best Girl Scout of them all.
