About This Tour in Savannah

This was Shannon Scott's original 1990's tour that started everything! Colonial Park Cemetery serves as the biggest story graveyard in the whole Historic District! Its the oldest patch of city land one can visit and where you'll see materials far older than the surrounding Victorian City. In Savannah's colonial hours, this is where every town meeting, picnic, wedding, duel and public execution was conducted! Eventually it would be the final resting place of Gen Nathanael Greene, 2 signers of The Declaration of Independence, merchants, priests, paupers, soldiers and just about every character that gave blood, sweat and tears to the early colony and later nation. Less we forget how Yellow Fever turned it all into a mass grave resulting in the permanent closure in 1853. Discussions also extend to the Root Doctor culture ritualism, The Old City Jail, Conrad Aiken Birthplace, Dueling Grounds and all complete with visual images to enhance the experience.

A city of the dead within a city forest!

Teddy Roosevelt's Great-Grandfather so Revolutionary he sat out on signing The Declaration just to stay at the front!

Colonial Park held an early Negro Burial Ground & the root doctor culture actively using it for white & black magic purposes.

The Memento Mori was a statement of the soul eternal but also a reminder that all will one day belong to the dead.

Another birds-eye view. Not much has changed either!

Yellow Fever, the No 1 killer in Savannah's past would in many ways, close the cemetery.

The untimely death of Washington's 2nd in command gave rise to The Cotton Gin.
