An understanding of Historic Cemeteries - This is about 3 miles out of town. You will need a car. Our guide was Paschal and he was passionate about the history of this cemetery and the Savannah area. He is a historian and a theologian and brought so much insight to the gravestones & statues that we were seeing and the people who were to be remembered there.
