Colonial Park Cemetery

This beautiful historical cemetery in Savannah was established in 1750, expanded three times and eventually dubbed a park. The paths through the green space are refreshing but border the bustling business district. The red brick, marble slabs and Spanish moss swaying in the breeze gives a peaceful feeling of rest in spite of the cemetery's tumultuous history. Note: The historical cemetery is not too far of a walk from Forsyth park. If you do decide to adventure, grab a water and hat, but also look for the French Gothic spires. The stone cold beauty of St John's Basilica is breathtaking.

One of the oldest cemeteries in Savannah and located in the middle of the city. It is very well preserved and has ancient and historical tombs. I highly recommend visiting it.

Established in 1750, this park-like historic cemetery contained over 9,000 graves by the time it was closed to new burials in 1853. Included among the community buried here are many Revolutionary soldiers and a mass grave of those killed by Yellow Fever. This cemetery was established at the edge of the original community of Savannah, and has since been consumed by growth.

Colonial Park Cemetery is one of the most fascinating places I visited in Savannah! During the day, it’s a peaceful and historic site that gives you a deep sense of the city’s past — the old tombstones and moss-covered trees create a quiet, reflective atmosphere. But at night, it transforms into something else entirely! I did a haunted walking tour that included the cemetery, and it was such a thrilling experience. The stories, the legends, and the eerie atmosphere after dark made it unforgettable. You can really feel the history (and maybe a few ghosts 👻) around every corner. Highly recommended if you enjoy history, mystery, and a little bit of spooky fun!
