Visite du cimetière Laurel Grove de Savannah

Aperçu

Often called The Hidden Gem & is the local's favorite cemetery!.This former plantation turned 67-acre cemetery, is Savannah's most pristine, gothic and untouched that sold out in The Victorian Age. It contains more stylized mausoleum chapels than any city cemetery, has the area's true Civil War sections, including prominent Gettysburg heroes, and is a refuge to the city's grandest and most decorative ironwork fences. It was the most inclusive of all of the cemeteries ranging in the city's wealthiest right down to a Stranger's Lot, Jewish section, slave section, Babyland, best representing the small tight-knit city. The cast of characters includes Girl Scout's founder, Juliette Low. Jingle Bell's author, James Pierpont. Savannah's original greeter, The Waving Girl. An ironclad shipbuilder, Henry Willink. Author Kahlil Gibran's benefactress, Mary Haskell. Great Women's History here. Most days our tour is the only group of living found in the cemetery giving it an incredibly private feel!

As a Girl Scout Alumni Troop from Savannah, we got to learn about the history of the cemetery that the GS Founder, Juliette Low, is buried. Sorry to see it “abandoned” with no active support group to maintain it other than the city.

Jamie, truly glad that one, you took a chance on the cemetery that is most coveted by Savannah versus tourists, as in many ways, shocking more don't come or ever know about this place and hence the very name of our tour, but moreover we're so happy to hear that one of the great voices of the place, your guide Paschal Miller, was so exemplary in his delivery and services of it! We're building the popularity of this hidden gem one tour at a time so thank you for being part of the project building!

Tanya, glad to hear yet again that our man on deck, Paschal Miller, presented Savannah's favorite cemetery to you in such high-caliber fashion! Trust me when we say we expect no less of the man whose family goes back to the 1760's in Savannah's burial traditions and a guy who like most of us is a true taphophile and when not working in a cemetery, just walking about and exploring! Appreciate your comments to us and others!
