About this place:
Bonaventure cemetery in Savannah, Georgia, is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
Bonaventure Cemetery is located on the site of a plantation once owned by John Mullryne. The Plantation was converted to a cemetery in 1868. Later the cemetery was made famous after John Berendt's book Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil was published. The book, and then the movie of the same title by Clint Eastwood, propelled Savannah and the Bonaventure Cemetery into the spotlight and made the city a major tourist destination.
Johnny Mercer (famous for the song Moon River) and Conrad Aiken (poet) are just to name a few famous that are buried here.
The spanish moss and other green moss are very present and the cemetery has a life of its own here.
