Things to Do Near Port Wentworth, Georgia
Port Wentworth traces its roots to 1733, though it wasn't incorporated until 1957, and its stretch of the Savannah River still carries that colonial and Civil War-era history. Free attractions do a lot of the heavy lifting here: the Savannah National Wildlife Refuge, direct river access at the Houlihan Boat Landing, historic African American praise houses and cemeteries, and family farms selling Georgia-grown produce along themed driving tours. In town, Tom Triplett Community Park offers nature trails through woodlands and wetlands, while the Port Wentworth Historical Society and Museum walks visitors through the area's cotton and shipbuilding past — including its ties to Mulberry Grove, where Eli Whitney invented the cotton gin. From here it's a short hop to downtown Savannah's squares, riverfront, and restaurants.
