Savannah's Colonial Park Cemetery God's Acre Tour
Overview
This was Shannon Scott's original 1990's tour that started everything, featuring Colonial Park Cemetery and Savannah's historic significance. As the oldest patch of city land, it holds stories far older than the surrounding Victorian City.

- 📜 The cemetery is the final resting place of notable figures, including Gen Nathanael Greene and two signers of The Declaration of Independence.
- ⚰️ Yellow Fever resulted in a mass grave here, leading to its permanent closure in 1853.
