This cemetery holds the remains of quite a few original settlers. Many date to the late 1700's. There are also civil war graves here. Very interesting.

If you like history and not weirded out by it being a graveyard, it's a neat place to visit. My husband and I enjoy the history behind it. I will say though, that I know Savannah is the most haunted city and I feel that I am spirit sensitive...we did both get an odd feeling in shaded portion of the...

this is another must see cemetary in the middle of the city,this is the cemetary they got the little kid apparition on video,and it has lots of the original tombstones on the far back wall,some were defaced by soldiers during the civil war,the family crypts were used during the yellow fever epidemic and to stop graverobbers from looting the graves.
It was hurtful to think that people disrespected & defaced the stones during the war. What a wonderful place to just walk through and reflect back to a different time and to see how many people were losted due to Yellow Fever...

The Cemetery is actually considered to be a city park...

Very interesting old cemetery with plaques telling you the history of some buried there. There were some tombstones that were against the back wall that were neat. Had that cool creepy feel- the reason that some of the dates were off on some of the tombstones was something in reference to a war-can't remember exactly but our trolley tour guide...

There were some very old headstones, some so old that you couldn't read them. There were several markers giving you historical information. Wish they kept the large grave markers up better, a lot of them were covered with leaves and such.
Although Bonaveture is my favorite cemetary, Colonial Park is very neat and historical. The biggest problem is not being able to read the gravestones because of the hundreds of years of wear. But it is still a great place to visit.
Given proud recignition to the military soldiers are gone and not forgotten. Past remaning soldiers are excellent role models to have the courage to surpass primary as an incentitive for a golden opportunity to make a difference in other soldiers.
Visitors are welcomed to pay tribute to the great battle
the soldiers that like to known doing their very best...
