Colonial Park Cemetery — Local services in Savannah

I’ll review this from the thought process of “should I visit this while I’m in Savannah?” It’s not like you’re just barging into a resting place—this cemetery is haunting, peaceful, and beautiful at the same time; and most likely there will be a good number of (living) people also admiring the grounds with you. Luckily the crowds haven’t been thick enough to be annoying. As long as it’s daytime you can just freely stroll through the gates and walk among the stones. There’s a handful of signs scattered giving descriptions on some of the “key movers” buried there as well as some insight to the times. Furthermore, any Tour will also give you the brief history that vandals and stationed soldiers have moved and vandalized the headstones. Everything in historic Savannah is so easy to walk to that you might as well throw this into your list. As for making this a final destination—ehhhh just pair it with the rest of your walking...

Nestled in the heart of Historic Downtown Savannah, this cemetery offers a peek into the lives of Savannah’s earliest residents and those who helped build our country. It was the city’s main cemetery from 1750 to 1853, until it became overcrowded, and today, it is a perfectly picturesque park and sacred, quiet space for reflection. If you set out on a walk through historic downtown, be sure to pass through this little, 6 acre time capsule, brimming with history. It’s so peaceful. And if you can, make time to book a tour with Shannon Scott Tours. No tour company in Savannah (or elsewhere) knows cemeteries better, and no other sites in Savannah offer quite as rich, layered and fascinating stories as cemeteries. Shannon is the real, local expert and master storyteller, and he trains his guides to be the best. You will be spoiled with an invaluable and...

Colonial Park Cemetery is one of the most fascinating places I visited in Savannah! During the day, it’s a peaceful and historic site that gives you a deep sense of the city’s past — the old tombstones and moss-covered trees create a quiet, reflective atmosphere.

But at night, it transforms into something else entirely! I did a haunted walking tour that included the cemetery, and it was such a thrilling experience. The stories, the legends, and the eerie atmosphere after dark made it unforgettable. You can really feel the history (and maybe a few ghosts 👻) around every corner.

Highly recommended if you enjoy history, mystery, and a little bit...
