Bonaventure is quite serene with its stone gardens and trees dripping with Spanish moss. It is a little hidden away from the hustle and bustle of Savannah which is great for a Sunday care free stroll. I felt I had robbed myself though of an even greater experience for not reading up on the history before I visited. At the... more

This place is absolutely beautiful and full of history. Make sure you pickup the map/brochure (they ask for a donation) -- it's the only way to find things and full of interesting stories. Listen to the talk if their giving one... parts of it are boring, but some of the stories are really great, and it's short. I know that... more

This is actually a beautiful place. There are plenty of trees and beautiful statues and monuments. The staff has this thing down to a science. Definitely stop in at the office and get a map. You can drive through the whole thing and never get out of your car, if you don't want to. But, it is better to park... more

There is so much history here and if you are into grave photography you will be amazed. You can drive all around the place and stop along the way or take a stroll through the cemetery if you like. It is absolutely the most beautiful cemetary I have ever been in. A must see. I wish this was open at... more

This cemetery is a must see. It's the place the dearly departed would want to spend all eternity. Quiet, peaceful and surrounded by beauty. The azaleas, and spanish moss add to the essence of it's natural beauty. Featured in Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil. Must spend some time here! more

This is a lovely way to spend a morning. The walk from the entrance and around to the back that runs alongside the St Augustine Creek is just so nice. The air feels thick with history and it also feels very regal. The sun beaming in through the spanish moss that hangs makes for some interesting photography. Definitely worth the... more

Beautiful cemetary. It is still in use today, there was actually a funeral going on when we were there. It was very hot when we were there, so we just drove through and stopped and took pictures where we wanted. It would have been great to have been able to walk through, but it was over 100 that day. It... more

This cemetary use to be lands that belonged to a Plantation along the river bank. Lots of old oak trees just dripping with moss. A Real Southern tranquil place. Lots of beautiful carved monuments and lots of angel stonework. Take time to view by car, we stopped along the way to read the stones - I have trouble walking and... more

Having recently taken an interest in Geneology, I learned that much of my family is buried in Bonaventure Cemetary. Dee and I set out on our last vacation with that destination in mind. As we arrived at the front gate, we were directed to the business office for directions to the gravesites we were interested in seeing. In the office,... more
