The Wormsloe State Historic Site, originally known as Wormsloe Plantation, is a state historic site near Savannah, Georgia, in the southeastern United States. The site consists of 822 acres (3.33 km2), protecting part of what was once the Wormsloe Plantation, a large estate established by one of the founders of colonial Georgia, Noble Jones. The site includes a 1.5-mile (2.4 km) dirt road lined with southern live oaks, the ruins of a small house with fortified walls built of tabby, a museum, and an area with recreations of colonial structures such as a blacksmithing forge and a house similar to those first built in the colony of Georgia.

Historic Grayson Stadium
It is primarily used for baseball, and is the home field of the Savannah Bananas, a professional exhibition team. From 2016 to 2022, the Bananas played in the Coastal Plain League collegiate summer baseball league, but in 2020 started a professional exhibition team, playing a game with unique rule variations that it calls "Banana Ball". Thanks to their unique promotions, over-the-top entertainment, and distinctive take on professional play, the Bananas achieved major internet fame and sold out every game for both their college summer and professional operations. The professional side also regularly tours minor-league and even major-league ballparks around the country. After the 2022 season, the Bananas shut down their college summer team and went all-in on "Banana Ball". The Bananas play about 30 games in Savannah each season, as well as about 40 in different locations around the U.S. As for the stadium, it was also the part-time home of the Savannah State University college baseball team. It was used from 1927 until 1959 for the annual Thanksgiving Day game between Savannah High School and Benedictine Academy. Known as "Historic Grayson Stadium" it was built in 1926. It holds 4,000 people.
