The cemetery is a great stop on a trip to Savannah. It's got a historical section which will prove interesting to most anyone. And of course after the Garden of Good and Evil movie, it's become quite a popular attraction. I recommend stopping at the groundkeeper's house on the way in and getting a map. He will also give you... more

I think this was one of the highlights of the trip for me. The cemetery is gorgeous, the tombstones are extravagent, the atmosphere is peaceful. We took a taxi from downtown (approx $15) and were very glad we did. Make it a point to see this place during your visit to Savannah. more

This is a Savannah "must see". Wether you are intrested in History or intrested in cemeteries. Intrested in Ghosts and the paranormal, or just the serenity of being in a quiet park like setting. This is the place to be. I have been here so many times now it is like home. Bonaventure is at its most beautiful in the... more

We toured Bonaventure on our way back to Atl. from Tybee. It's beautful yet a little creepy at the same time. It's amazing the time and expense people go to in order to pay homage to thier disceased loved ones. I would love to take a history tour of Bonaventure on our next trip. more

We loved looking at the gorgeous monuments and reading about all the people from ages ago. It was beautiful with the sunlight streaming through the trees. more

Bonaventure is quite serene with its stone gardens and trees dripping with Spanish moss. It is a little hidden away from the hustle and bustle of Savannah which is great for a Sunday care free stroll. I felt I had robbed myself though of an even greater experience for not reading up on the history before I visited. At the... more

This place is absolutely beautiful and full of history. Make sure you pickup the map/brochure (they ask for a donation) -- it's the only way to find things and full of interesting stories. Listen to the talk if their giving one... parts of it are boring, but some of the stories are really great, and it's short. I know that... more

This is actually a beautiful place. There are plenty of trees and beautiful statues and monuments. The staff has this thing down to a science. Definitely stop in at the office and get a map. You can drive through the whole thing and never get out of your car, if you don't want to. But, it is better to park... more

There is so much history here and if you are into grave photography you will be amazed. You can drive all around the place and stop along the way or take a stroll through the cemetery if you like. It is absolutely the most beautiful cemetary I have ever been in. A must see. I wish this was open at... more

This cemetery is a must see. It's the place the dearly departed would want to spend all eternity. Quiet, peaceful and surrounded by beauty. The azaleas, and spanish moss add to the essence of it's natural beauty. Featured in Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil. Must spend some time here! more
