If there is one spot that people even outside of Savannah will recognize from pictures, it's the oaks along Wormsloe State Historic Site. The drive has become an iconic part of many Savannah visits and has a long line of history to go with it.

Craig Barrow III, a descendant of Wormsloe founder and one of Savannah's original settlers, Noble Jones, is this week's Difference Maker. He talks about the history of the land, what his family has done to preserve the grounds, his dealing with Jimmy Carter and the Supreme Court and how they hope to preserve the oaks.
