Bonaventure Cemetery is located on a bluff along the Wilmington River. This beautiful cemetery began in 1846 as Evergreen Cemetery, before becoming Bonaventure Cemetery. The cemetery is open daily from 8am-5pm, and free tours are held on the second weekend of each month at 2pm. We think a visit to Bonaventure Cemetery is a must-visit when exploring Savannah.
