Our GPS kept routing us through the cemetery otherwise I may not have walked through. The cemetery is well kept and it felt more like a park each time we walked though with kids on the grass and dogs running around. As others have said the grave markers are old and eroded making most very difficult to read.

The Colonial Cemetery is the place to be for history buffs. We had a long walk on the peaceful lawns old cemetery finding the tombstones of military leaders and governers of Savannah of the course of three centuries. The tombstones have very clear signage on the signing posts with metal plates standing next to the graves. It was a dive in the Savannah’s past.

First, I'd highly recommend grabbing a cemetery brochure from one of the Savannah visitor's centers! The brochure has points of interest and some history of the cemetery. The cemetery itself was beautiful and solemn, and a great place to learn about some Savannah history. Although the gravestones were very worn down, there were multiple signs to read!

Call it morbid but I love strolling through old cemeteries. It's peaceful and educational. I always find interesting tombstones with quirky engravings and beautiful statues. The quirkiness of this cemetery is that the area where duels were fought is just outside of the cemetery (now a playground)
