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 Andrew 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.

The Birthplace Daisy pin has been found in 2 sizes.

Two versions of this pin; top one says First National Girl Scout Headquarters, the second one omits the National. I don't know which one is older.
