bonaventure cemetery

这个公墓非常的漂亮和宁静。在周末的时候,游客中心有人值班(是历史协会的志愿者),他们可以帮你找到一些更有趣的墓地和漂亮的墓碑。他们也有个网站,网址为 http://www.bonaventurehistorical.org 。到萨凡纳是一定要到这里看看。一旦你开始逛起来了,你就会忘了时间的!

每当我想起Bonaventure 公墓的时候,我脑海里出现的词语便是“不可思议”。从长满青苔的古树到难以忘怀的美丽墓碑,你一定不希望错过这个地方。流连于各个墓碑之间,阅读那些墓志铭,欣赏那些精湛的雕塑,几个小时的时间一眨眼就过去了。我都等不及再去萨凡纳,再到Bonaventure公墓了。

公墓和雕像都美得令人啧啧称奇。这里青苔遍地,橡树成荫,实乃休憩灵魂的不二之选,环境又是如此的优美。长眠于此的都是有故事的人,值得一看,是萨凡纳打发时间的好去处。

来Savannah一定要来这个公墓看看的,门口的办公室提供地图,拿着地图漫步在公墓中,这里的苔藓更增添了肃穆的气息。Johnny Mercer的墓给人以启迪,Gracie Watson的让人感动,特别是人们放在她墓前的东西,她的墓碑就是架钢琴(名字叫Upchurch)。

我们从书上知道了这个公墓,然后就想来看看。我们没有很多时间,所以我们就看了几个名人的墓地。在很短的时间内我们就看出来这是个特别的地方。这里位于水边的安排很棒。树和公墓的布局给这里一种很不凡的平静之感。如果你有时间,可以看看游客中心并拿一本小册子。花一点时间为你的旅行找个引导。这里有很多东西可看。

This is a well-maintained property that run tours and even has porta-johns, benches and wastebins onsite for the tourists. Rather than being a bad thing that detracts from the beautiful live oak lined rows, this makes visiting this historic landmark pleasant and clean. I didn't take a paid tour, but the snippets I overheard from the ones being conducted while I was wandering about seemed to be professional and well-informed.

The cemetery is easy to find. Several graves are highlighted at the visitor center. Unfortuanly the statue of the Bird Girl ahs been removed due to damage caused by visitors. There are

You have to see this place. Even if visiting a cemetery is not high on your list of places to see, you should check this one out. It is just too beautiful! I know that sounds creepy but it is difficult to describe. Stop at the office and get a map and guide/brochure. You can drive through this one and stop where you want. We were there on a drizzly/overcast day and that just added to the beautiful creepiness. Check out the kiosk on the front porch of the office building. You can search for you family names to see if you have some relative buried there.

This is a lovely, atmospheric place to spend an hour or so. It is possible to take tours, but we walked around by ourselves. (HINT: notice where the tour guides stop and head in that direction.) We saw Johnny Mercer's grave, Gracie and Conrad Aiken. There is lots of Spanish moss hanging from trees and blooming camellias. The foliage is particularly interesting to us Northeners.

If you are like me and enjoy exploring cemeteries than do not miss this one. Easy to spend a few hours walking and exploring.

I can't believe I'm actually writing about a cemetery. But it really is worth seeing. It's like seeing slices of life through the years--and history through the eyes of monuments. It's not that there's so many well known people buried there but that people seemed really intent on erecting monuments with personality. The setting is gorgeous on the water and you can drive through most of it and still have a good experience.

Clean, peaceful, aesthetically pleasing. If you're into visiting cemeteries, be sure you visit this one! I definitely recommend it for a nice afternoon!

Ethereal beauty steeped in history. The live oaks, Spanish moss, and beautiful statuary make this a must see for everyone's visit to Savannah!

This opens early for walkers and tourist to walk through. You'll hear this on a tour but if you don't. The soldiers stayed in the cemetery during the war and out of boredom they removed headstones to other graves or changed details on the headstones. The ones on the brick wall are the most interesting.

Very peaceful and cool cemetary to visit. Well worth your time investment. The birds are very vocal here. I wasn't sure about going to a cemetary but actually enjoyed this visit.
