Savannah’s Bonaventure Cemetery

One of the top sites to visit that I heard over and over was the Bonaventure Cemetery. There’s a Historic section which has the most beautiful grave tombs, from vaults with stained glass windows and obelisks, to headstones, sculpted flowers, Celtic crosses, angels and the little girl Grace. This section has graves dated from the mid 1800’s and early 1900’s. Many are organized in numbered lots which hold multiple graves. The lots are surrounded by fences made of stone, iron (almost in decay) and copper like the one in the sketch. And of course lots of moss hanging from trees. It was 65° F and sunny, perfect for a peaceful walk on a Sunday afternoon in Savannah.
