Walking Tour #1  Historic District Burial Grounds and Cemeteries  90 minute tour

 

The mystery of Savannah, we are a Colonial City built on top of our dead.  Learn the difference between a burial ground and a cemetery...that will explain a lot!  Visit the home of Potter's Field, a middle class burial ground that's runs along side of the Slavery Burial Grounds. Next you'll roll up to Colonial Park Cemetery, this was one of the first cemeteries in Savannah.  The history is quite unique!  From there move onto the first burial ground and cemetery on Wright Square, know that many of the bodies were never moved from that area... Next, to the land where the Jewish Cemetery was to lay, this was the edge of town at that time and now in the middle.  As Savannah grew so did our cemetery history!
