Beskrivelse

Sitting in the heart of the town grid of 24 city squares there's an unofficial 25th called Colonial Park Cemetery, book now for the God's acre guided tour where your guide will fill you in on the history. The cemetery serves as the biggest story graveyard in the whole Historic District. The grounds defy time as the oldest patch of public land one can visit in Savannah and where you'll see and touch materials far older than the Victorian city that now surrounds.

During Savannah's primitive hours, this is where every town meeting, picnic, wedding, duel and public execution was conducted. Eventually it would be the final resting place of Gen Nathanael Greene, two signers of The Declaration of Independence, duellists, merchants, priests, paupers, soldiers and just about every character that gave blood, sweat and tears to the early colony and later nation.

Less forget the mass graves of Yellow Fever victims resulting in the closure of the place down in 1853. You and your guide will discuss the adjoining "Negro Burial Ground," Poet Conrad Aiken Birthplace, The Old City Jail, dueling grounds, The Hanging Tree along with the fascinating ritual use of the cemetery by area Root Doctors accompanied by eyeopening visual aides per their shamanism.
