In celebration of our 11th Anniversary this year, we pay tribute to the French influence on our region’s history and lifestyle with world-renowned designer Timothy Corrigan. 

Presented by the Colonial Dames of America in the State of Georgia, a 501C3 charitable organization, this event supports the ongoing preservation of two of the City’s prominent historic houses, the Andrew Low House Museum and The Green-Meldrim House.

French Connections: The Low Family in Paris
Guided Tour followed by Wine and Cheese in the Museum’s Courtyard
Discover the Low family’s French connections through personal letters, artistic treasures, and memorable European adventures. From Andrew and Mary Low’s honeymoon in France in 1854 during which Mary’s portrait was made, to Juliette Gordon Low’s account of visiting the newly constructed Eiffel Tower during the 1889 Paris Exposition. Explore the family’s connections to French art, culture and history. The forty-minute tour concludes with wine and cheese in the Museum’s historic courtyard.

Green-Meldrim House Tours Saturday, March 6, 2027, 10:00

French Style in Savannah: Croissants, Conversation, and Chez Ninon at the Green-Meldrim House

Join us for a continental breakfast and discussion of Chez Ninon, the legendary fashion house, owned and operated by Sophie Meldrim Shonnard, who grew up in the home, and Nona McAdoo Park.  Their approved copies of Paris originals were successful and fashionable making Sophie and Nona style arbiters of the 20th century. Several ensembles worn by Jacqueline Kennedy while First Lady will be highlighted.

Tours will trace the home’s design lineage: from its architectural roots born in medieval France and the lavish Rococo Revival interiors that originally adorned its halls, to the striking prose of celebrated French/American authors Julian and Anne Green—grandchildren of the original estate.
