Bonaventure Cemetery Walking Tour in Savannah

Tour Savannah's Most Famous Cemetery

Tour Savannah's Most Famous Cemetery

If you want to ensure that you have completed the Savannah mystic circle and haven't left any loose ends, then you're pretty much required by divine touring law to go to Bonaventure Cemetery!

This tour will provide all its visual, historical and botanical splendors. Described as "incomparable" by Oscar Wilde, Bonaventure is 10 to 15 minutes from downtown Savannah, located on a bluff overlooking the St. Augustine Creek and the Intracoastal Waterway. The scenery may well steal your breath away.

Buried here are a colony founder or two like Noble Jones, former Governor and U.S. Senator Josiah Tattnall, T. S. Eliot's best friend Conrad Aiken, famed songwriter Johnny Mercer, and the famous "Little Gracie," too.

This tour was featured by Samantha Brown on the Travel Channel in an episode titled "Samantha Faces Her Fears" (and Samantha LOVED it).

Strangely, the City of Savannah policies forbid the telling of ghost stories in cemeteries. But, you will be told about the 40 people who have committed suicide in Bonaventure and why there's an incentive plan for those who do!

There's also a great yarn about a caretaker's wife who murdered her husband in the caretaker's house in 1910.

Your guide may throw in a ghost story or two outside the cemetery entrance, too.

You are permitted to remain in the cemetery following your guided tour to tour more on your own or take additional photographs - up until the cemetery closing time.
