The cemetery is not a top draw in Savannah but is worth a visit if history turns you on. The site is right in the middle of the historic district, easily accessible, and has a number of things to look at while you are walking around besides the old tomb stones. There are markers giving you short history lessons on... more

Colonial Park is only about the size of a block, but the beauty is well contained. Spanish Moss sways over tombstones that are hundreds of years old. Be sure to look at the back wall, there are tombstones mounted on it, some legible, some not. Many markers througout the cemetery with information about the people buried there. If you take... more

worth a trip to stop in it is located right in town near everything else. interesting history about how the gravestones got destroyed. also the amount of small children buried here was very suprising. some of the gravestones hard to read but many of them from the 1700s. if you like old graveyards this is much more convenient than driving... more

We enjoyed the stroll through the cemetary. We had printed out a history sheet on colonial park prior to our visit so we were able to read a bit about the cemetary while walking through. The brief history explaining the head stones mounted on the wall were interesting. A nice cemetary to visit if driving to others isnt possible. Worth... more

We visited this cemetery yesterday. This was our third visit and it never fails to connect us with the cities, states and our country's earliest history. It also amuses us to no end. Check out the Habersham plot. Dad buried with his wife and both of his son’s and their wives. Dad a staunch loyalist, and both sons dedicated separatists... more

Wether you like history, art, or just need a place to sit down for a while; Colonial Park Cemetery is a nice place to stroll through. The landscape is doted with informational signs about famous historical founders of Savannah, and affords many interesting works of art on its historical gravemarkers. more

Colonial Park Cemetery is always a stop for us on our trips to Savannah. In all previous visits we would rank the cemetery as excellent, but this year someone forgot to cut the grass and maintain it better. The headstones are interesting to read since the cemetery is old. Many notable people are buried here. It is still worth a... more

This cemetery is not particularly well-kept. The headstones are very difficult to read (then again the burials are from about 1750 to 1850). It is centrally located on a stroll through Savannah and is probably worth a 10 to 15 minute stop. more
