Bonaventure Cemetery

The Bonaventure Cemetery was established in 1846 as a private cemetery on the site of the old Bonaventure Plantation, birthplace of future Georgia governor Josiah Tatnall.

Love, love, love this cemetery . Must see! I could spend a whole day or more here! Beautiful mausoleums and famous head stones here. The Bird Girl has been moved to the Telfair Museum .

Bonaventure Don’s cemetery tour is the best tour in all of Savannah!! If u can only do 1 tour in Savannah, this is it. Contact Don at don@bonaventuredon.com

I could spend days here exploring and taking in the beauty of this place. The cemetery is huge and beautiful. Truly amazing.

Nice place to go to but Père lachaise is so much more special and way older. Still good to spend a few hours though

A man named Shannon Scott does GREAT secular tours focusing on the history of Savannah and it's more notable residents. His co. is called Bonaventure After Hours - highly recommend.

Please make sure to stop by the visitor's center and buy one of the Bonaventure Historical Society maps. It only costs $1 and you'll be helping the society and Bonaventure! :)

One of the more beautiful cemeteries , with a ton of history. Great for a walk. Wouldn't mind being put here when I croak.

This place is absolutely gorgeous! It's like a museum instead of a cemetery . It's also huge so make sure you get a map!

Off the beaten path, but definitely worth the trip! Ethereal, beautiful, picturesque, and unlike anyplace else I have ever been. The highlight of my trip to Savannah.

Lots of history, it's actually a very beautiful cemetery !! I recommend it to all tourists !!

It’s on of the best place to see in Savannah the locals know all the best story’s of the past life’s here.

In 1907, the Bonaventure Cemetary became a public cemetary. Savannah now owns & operates 5 cemeteries , and Bonaventure is the largest of those. Learn more from this C-SPAN American History TV video. Read more

Wonderful old graves ...this is where the dead do talk to Us.. well thru their headstones! Could spend all day looking around grounds...
