Ensconced within a single square within the Historic District, this cemetery is large enough and with headstones legible enough to interest the colonial and federal history buff, but not so big as to bore the fellow tourist, who would rather head for a nearby tavern (there are many very close by).

We spent a couple hours walking this lovely park/cemetery reading the markers and inscriptions. Many of Savannah's early dead are buried here. The cemetery is well kept, a peaceful and respectful repository of history. More

We liked it so much we went twice during our trip. Loved reading the tombstones and the extensive history of this place. I recommend a visit here on your next trip to Savannah. More

Although not quite as enthralled as my son, I did appreciate this lovely preserved cemetery. As we walked the aged burial sites, more of Savannah's history was meshed with information gained though other Savannah tours... Cemetery connoisseurs should not miss this one!! More
