Nestled in the heart of Savannah, Colonial Park Cemetery holds a significant place in the city's history as a serene final resting place for many early settlers of Georgia. Established in 1750, this historic cemetery exudes an aura of mystery and reverence, with its moss-covered tombstones and ancient oak trees casting shadows over the sacred ground. As one wanders through the rows of gravestones, each inscribed with tales of lives long past, a sense of solemnity and awe pervades the atmosphere. Visitors can glimpse into Savannah's rich past and pay respects to the souls who shaped the city's heritage. The cemetery's intricate ironwork gates and crumbling crypts serve as poignant reminders of the passage of time and the impermanence of life, inviting contemplation amidst the tranquility of this hauntingly beautiful site.

Savannah's Colonial Park Cemetery God's Acre Tour
This was Shannon Scott's original 1990's tour that started everything! Colonial Park Cemetery serves as the biggest story graveyard in the whole Historic District! Its the oldest patch of city land one can visit and where you'll see materials far older than the surrounding Victorian City. In Savannah's colonial 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, 2 signers of The Declaration of Independence, merchants, priests, paupers, soldiers and just about every character that gave blood, sweat and tears to the early colony and later nation. Less we forget how Yellow Fever turned it all into a mass grave resulting in the permanent closure in 1853. Discussions also extend to the Root Doctor culture ritualism, The Old City Jail, Conrad Aiken Birthplace, Dueling Grounds and all complete with visual images to enhance the experience.
