We visited Colonial Park Cemetery on a Saturday afternoon. Colonial Park is Savannah's oldest cemetery and is by far the most interesting. Two notable traits set Colonial Park apart from all other cemeteries: 1. Sherman's men "played" in this cemetery during the Civil War. The soldiers spent their free time changing the dates on the headstones and robbing graves. So,... More

Colonial Park Cemetary should be an easy walk through for anyone touring Savannah. Very picturesque, and full of history. There are many young children buried there. Tons of Civil War history and stories, and I suspect a few unmarked graves. Most interesting was the wall along the edge of the cemetery, where displaced gravemarkers and tombstones were placed after the... More

Very old and very interesting walk through the Bonaventure Cemetery. Many famous people from Savannah are buried there. It is so picturesque with all the trees covered with Spanish moss.

We took the walking tour from Savannah Dan (great tour by the way) and he told us that the gravestones lined up on the side of the cemetery are there because no one knows where to put them! The place is wall to wall buried people and sadly, some of the headstones are so old that it is impossible to... More

This cemetery is very unusal and interesting. The graves are most unusal and we noticed how young the people were who were buried there. We were told that no one was buried there after the Civil War and that Sherman had camped there during the Civil War.

We enjoyed the history of this old cemetery. Some of the markers were so old you could hardly read them. I have never seen a cemetery like this one. I am glad we visited this historial site. One of my favorite sites because of the history of the place.

We are not history buffs, but we did enjoy the well tended cemetery. We read a lot of headstones. Just a nice walk meandering through. Not the cemetery based on the book!

Right downtown. In keeping with the fun, flirty and historic nature of Savannah, the headstones reflect a massive propaganda graffiti by union soldiers encamped there a hundred fifty years ago. The Confederate in every Southern gentleman has never gotten over it, even though the city has embraced it as one of the fun things to thrill visitors and tourists with.... More

The cemetery is located in the historic district and is an easy walk. It's small so you won't get worn out. The brick wall in the back of the cemetery is full of old headstones left from the war. The union soldiers desecrated the headstones by throwing them all around the cemetery. The slept in the tombs to avoid detection.... More
