For fans of history and beauty, nothing in Savannah tops Bonaventure. Such a storied past and treated with such respect over the years, this place is worth a few hours of your time. Because the cemetery wasn't much of a destination before "The Book" made it famous, the history there is so, so well preserved. The only knock would probably... more

If you are interested in history and are open to seeing beauty in a cemetery, Bonaventure is worth a side trip from Savannah. It's about a 20-30 minute drive from the historic district, but can easily be done on your own. I personally would avoid the tour groups that take you there - drive yourself and get a map from... more

Unfortunately it was raining when we went, but would still recommend. It is immense... You could literally take an entire day to wander around. If you like cemetaries then this is a must see. If you have any interest in history, then this is a must see. One of the few attractions in Savannah that doesn't cost you anything. Loved... more

You almost feel like your in a park when you walk through this cemetery. Not your typical cemetery. There are few like it in California, but this is much older than most of the ones in Cali' anyway. The guard at the gate was very helpful & recommended some of the best spots to try & see. You can't see... more

What an excellent cemetary. Sadly there wasn't a map of graves that we found, so you just have to take your time. Look for "Gracie" and the "Mercer" Grave. more

My husband is stationed here in Savannah with the Army, so a friend and I decided that we need to try out our new cameras and head to Bonaventure. I have to admit I wasn't to big a fan of going there nor bringing my 3 year old. Surprisingly I found the cemetery to be very peaceful and serene. I... more

Everything we read said that Bonaventure Cemetery was one of the must see attractions in Savannah. We weren't that impressed. It's immense! We didn't know that we should have looked up any plots that we might have wanted to see since the cemetery is huge. It does have a pretty view of the river in one area of the cemetery,... more

This was the most beautiful cemetery I have been to. I love walking around cemeteries and just looking at the names and dates. My husband & I dragged my mom and brother there while my family was on vacation. They're not as "into" cemeteries as my husband & I are, but they enjoyed the visit too. Really awesome place. more

I went to Savannah the week of Oct. 7, 2007 with a group of female friends, and we went to Bonaventure Cemetery. This has to be the most beautiful cementery ever! The monuments and statues are truly amazing. It is interesting to read the inscriptions on the stones. With the stately live oaks draped in moss in the background, it... more
