Established in 1750, Colonial Park Cemetery is the oldest remaining cemetery in Savannah. Savannah was the starting point for the colony of Georgia, and due to the city’s haunted reputation, it is a stopping point for lovers of history and horror alike.
Throughout its paths there are numerous plaques dedicated to the city’s notable residents. There is also a monument at the grave of Button Gwinnett, one of the signers of the Declaration of Independence. Tours pass by day and night, telling the stories of Gwinnett, Sherman’s Union troops, duels, and yellow fever outbreaks.
Those are just a few stories out of thousands. While there are approximately 600 headstones in the cemetery, some estimates put the burial count over 9,000.
These are the stories they don’t tell on guided tours of the city, the people that don’t get plaques or historical monuments.
These are the stories of husbands and wives, sons and daughters, brothers and sisters—everyday people like you and me.
These are the forgotten stories behind the broken, misplaced, and sometimes even vandalized graves of Colonial Park Cemetery.
Lexi Myers has always had a love of all things dark and haunting, from true crime to ghost stories. It is no surprise that she fell in love with Savannah when she moved there nearly a decade ago. Savannah is, after all, one of the most haunted cities in America. With a love for photography since she was young, Lexi has combined that with her love of spooky stories and travel for everyone to enjoy. She began fully embracing her interests after becoming a mom, as she wants her children to follow their passions, even if it makes them “weird.”
