Savannah: Wormsloe Plantation and Bonaventure Cemetery Tour

Learn about Southern history by touring a plantation. Dine on classic Savannah fare at a local-favorite restaurant. Admire ornate mansions set against the Georgia marsh. Discover Bonaventure Cemetery to learn more about the lives of notable inhabitants.
Your day begins with a tour of Bonaventure Cemetery to learn about the lives of notable inhabitants like
Academy Award-winning songwriter Johnny Mercer, Georgia’s first governor Edward Telfair,
philanthropist Mary Telfair, as well as the tragic tales of poet Conrad Aiken and Gracie Watson. The
Cemetery walking tour meanders under moss-draped oaks and along the bluff of the Wilmington River. Bonaventure Cemetery, dating back to 1846, is one of the most beautiful cemeteries.

Following the cemetery tour, you will have lunch on your own at Erica Davis Low country restaurant, a
local favorite whose owner and family have deep ties in Savannah. Their focus on Coastal Southern
Cuisine brings together fresh seafood, barbecue, and southern sides in a menu that embodies the
Low country.

After lunch, the day continues to Wormsloe Historic site and a drive through the
picturesque Isle of Hope Historic District.
Your visit to Wormsloe includes a breathtaking drive down the famous live oak tree-lined drive. You will
take a short walk to see the Plantation Tabby Ruins that date to the 18th Century and visit the museum
of the Georgia State Park Historic Site. After Wormsloe, you will drive down Bluff Dr to view the
Intercoastal waterway and the magnificent houses that range in style from Greek Revival to Craftsman
Bungalows. After this drive along the bluff, the thought of looking for a Realtor will come to mind.

Finally, a stop is scheduled at the Famous Savannah Byrd Cookie Company headquarters for shopping
and tastings of Byrd’s Famous Cookies. Key Lime, Bennie Bits and Cheddar Cheese are just of few of the
favorites.
