Absolutely Love Shannon Scott Tours
Nestled in the heart of Historic Downtown Savannah, this cemetery offers a peek into the lives of Savannah’s earliest residents and those who helped build our country. It was the city’s main cemetery from 1750 to 1853, until it became overcrowded, and today, it is a perfectly picturesque park and sacred, quiet space for reflection. If you set out on a walk through historic downtown, be sure to pass through this little, 6 acre time capsule, brimming with history. It’s so peaceful. And if you can, make time to book a tour with Shannon Scott Tours. No tour company in Savannah (or elsewhere) knows cemeteries better, and no other sites in Savannah offer quite as rich, layered and fascinating stories as cemeteries. Shannon is the real, local expert and master storyteller, and he trains his guides to be the best. You will be spoiled with an invaluable and memorable experience.

Cemetery that's worth your time
This is a great historic cemetery that is in the downtown area of historic are of Savannah. I would highly recommend walking around the cemetery and reading about the historic people who were laid to rest there and had their hand in Savannah and our American history. It would only take about an hour to walk around the grounds, it isn't that large, and if you have already taken a history tour of the city, chances are you have been given some knowledge about the cemetery already. Make sure to go to the back wall to see the gravestones that were unable to be located on the grounds, very cool.
