The Sorrel- Weed House operates Historic Savannah Tours and Haunted Ghost Tours in Savannah. Our purpose is to educate the public on the rich neoclassical Greek Revival architecture of the Sorrel- Weed House and the the famous architect Charles Cluskey who designed it, along with and the cultural history of antebellum Savannah Georgia. A focus is also maintained on Civil War Savannah, and the role of Brigadier General Moxley Sorrel CSA. Moxley served under General James Longstreet and wrote "Recollections of a Confederate Staff Officer".

I am in awe!
It was wonderful. Our tour guide was passionate, insightful, and attentive. She shared the history clearly, and was open to every question. Also, THE kind woman who signed us up (name starts with M!) was pure delight! The tour itself was sublime. You will feel safe and afraid at the same time. It was interactive, meaning the group was encouraged to speak up if they feel anything paranormal. Some potential feelings in the house are imbalance, anxiety, and touching. My fiancé heard a whispering in her ear, and I personally witnessed a red room dim into blackness, a few moments before the tour guide mentioned the “shadow man.” 10/10, would recommend to ghost lovers, skeptics, ghost indifferents, and all.

Time Well Spent
My husband and I have visited Savannah for years and have passed by the Sorrel-Weed House many times, but hadn’t taken the tour. What a nice surprise! Guide Lucy was knowledgeable on both the history of the city, as well as the home. It was particularly nice to be permitted to take photographs - not something sightseers are usually allowed to do inside a historic home. The tour is affordable; the architecture/artifacts/antiques interesting; and the folks volunteer/working very gracious. Highly recommended!
