What beautiful landscape in this cemetery! Thank you for sharing.

[@venusandphoenix1529]

I absolutely loved visiting this place. Especially where the cemetery meets the water.

[@meowsthree]

What a beautiful cemetery! I’ve always wanted to see it. Thank you for a well-done video.

[@alsaunders3937]

I live right across the Savannah River from Sav in SC. There is a route Sherman took right through my county. In my family cemetery, Lebanon, 7 of my relatives were killed in The Battle of Rivers Bridge and during burial a little boy came running up the dirt road screaming Sherman is coming. My family all ran into the woods. Sherman rode up and saw that these men were soldiers from the battle and told his troops to bury them properly and gave them a 21 gun salute stating "these were brave soldiers, and brave soldiers deserve a proper burial!"

[@ellisreese9236]

Me and my girl used to go out there and smoke and walk and talk.so peaceful.

[@jeffthegraveguy8629]

What an amazing cemetery! So much history. I hope to visit it someday. Thanks for the video, Chris.

[@Whittdocs]

[@Whittdocs]

I appreciate you joining me. Thank you for coming along!

[@shergc]

Thank you for a lovely video. Several family members are buried here. My husband and I visit their graves when we're in Savannah. He likes to visit the graves then sit on a bench and look at the water. You probably know, Moon River was written about the Savannah River. It's too bad you weren't there when the azaleas are in bloom. It's even more beautiful then.

[@shaylathompson5507]

Bonaventure is my absolute favorite Cemetary to spend the day walking around!! So calming!! Also seeing little gracies grave is just amazing!!

Beautiful cemetery filled with history.👍

[@Whittdocs]

Sure was. So glad to be able to go. Thanks for watching.

[@beckybradford2718]

Thank you for sharing this beautiful cemetery! Such a sad story about little Gracie. I looked her up on Find A Grave and it shows that her parents are buried in New York. In the end it really doesn't matter where you're buried, but as a mother myself, I don't think I could have left my child there by herself. But I'm glad to see that her father had a beautiful statue made in her honor. And she's not forgotten! Thanks again for taking us along with ya!

[@Whittdocs]

I appreciate you coming along!

[@debbieblaylock9997]

You should visit Rosehill in Macon Georgia! So many historical graves and The ALLMAN Brothers!

[@Whittdocs]

Yes! I would love to do that.

[@lindagiles7440]

I wish your video's were longer I enjoy them so much.

[@Whittdocs]

Thank you so very much!

[@garyrichmond6684]

I love going to the cemetery during the day. The only way that I would go to the cemetery during the night is if I was doing a paranormal investigation.

[@Whittdocs]

I’m on the same page as you.

[@MsSusieq1960]

Very beautiful 😍

[@Whittdocs]

Thank you for watching!

Very interesting

[@Whittdocs]

Thanks for watching.

[@neitajames6029]

I've been there, I agree you can get lost. I did. It took a while for my husband to find me. They say Savannah is the most haunted city in Georgia. I don't know. It's beautiful and interesting. It would take more than a few days to tour Bonaventure cemetery. That moss kind make it spooky. I just felt calm. Savannah has a lot of history and good food. I'd like to take my children. Thank you for going and sharing this. I agree 💯% it's a beautiful cemetery. Eventhough I've been there I got excited. 👍💯❤👏👏👏. Love,respect and positivity always. Neita James. 🙂👋.

[@Whittdocs]

Such a beautiful place. Thanks for sharing this with us.

Beautiful cemetery 🙏😊

Sure is. I really enjoyed my visit here.

[@harolynallison6889]

The whole city is beautiful absolutely breathtaking beauty. I have been there and the beauty, hard to beat. The cemetery is well maintained they must have a lot of staff employed there just 😍 beautiful

[@Whittdocs]

I thoroughly enjoyed it here. I appreciate you watching. Thank you so much.

[@mandydunn6484]

The cemeterys over there are so beautiful

[@Whittdocs]

I agree. Such a beautiful place.

[@MARLONdaman]

I like that music! It sounds like Stevie Wonder playing.

[@elizabemagnaye1874]

I have read that Bonaventure is one of the prettiest cemetery in the US.It is well kept and hauntingly beautiful.

[@Whittdocs]

You’re exactly right. Beautiful and haunting.

[@crowscall1901]

A true slice of Dixieland.😊

[@Whittdocs]

Thank you for watching.

[@TheKentuckyPatriot]

Keep up the good work! :-)

[@Whittdocs]

Thank you sir!

[@thomaswhitten2537]

It is a beautiful place! It would take a million gallons of D2 to clean all those headstones! But it sure would be worth it. 😃

[@Whittdocs]

Yes, it would definitely take a lot of time to clean all those stones.

[@marcieconant5559]

I think I remember Johnny Mercer's music being used in the movie, "Midnight In The Garden Of Good And Evil". The sculpture for Little Gracie's resting place if precious. Can you find more artist commissioned sculptures in cemeteries? I always enjoy the videos where you feature those.

[@jro7741]

Thank you for doing this.. I have always wanted to see this cemetery💙💜I would love to tour this place at night.

[@Whittdocs]

Thank you for watching. I’m glad that you were able to join me.

Thank you I love your videos@@Whittdocs

[@sandrabrown2132]

J Ro. You can see it at night. Shannon Scott takes people out at night. He is a great guide and can tell you so much about the people buried there. Check him out online. He isn’t expensive either. Tell him Sandra Brown sent you. He knows me. I have been to Bonaventure enough.

I didn't mean to forget Little Gracie Watson.🦋🌠😇🙏. That's where he found me. We lost a son. I did leave a rock. Nj.

[@ruthannelackey8624]

My late mother in law has loaned me the book “Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil . I had forgotten some of those details

[@Whittdocs]

Thank you for watching!

[@beverlyrabinowitz7199]

Beautiful Love it wonder what happened to the parents

[@Whittdocs]

I believe they moved back to Massachusetts. Not exactly sure though.

[@natalieangelo54]

WOW,POOR GRACIE 😢, AND HER GRIEF STRICKEN PARENTS LEFT 😢

[@sandrabrown2132]

I love Bonaventure Cemetery. I have been 5 times. If you go there, get yourself a guide. It makes all the difference. I always choose Shannon Scott.

[@Whittdocs]

I would love to. Thank you.

[@doxiemomkimcannon851]

I live near Bonaventure Cemetery. It is beautiful especially when all of the azaleas are in bloom. We actually went to the cemetery to have prom pictures taken of my daughters group about 5 years ago. In the late 70’s you could go in at night. Some friends and I were going to see the movie Halloween when it first came out and my friends uncle took us to the cemetery before we went to the movie. He told us stories of someone being hung from a tree in there and scared the bajebbies out of me. I don’t think the hanging story was true but you never know in Savannah GA. The Colonial cemetery in the historic downtown area is beautiful as well. If you get back to Savannah check it out.

[@Whittdocs]

I would absolutely love to. Thanks for the recommendation.

[@susan5301]

It surely is a beautiful resting place! Not meaning for my ignorance to show but what is the meaning when rocks are left on the headstones? Thanks for sharing!

[@Whittdocs]

People will leave things as a sign they visited. May be a rock, or a coin, something like that. It’s probably just a custom to leave a rock at this one.

[@MARLONdaman]

I am sorry but I am not going to see ghost 👻!🙋🏿‍♂️. 🤢😂. You a brave man going to this cemetery!

[@lauramoonwoman]

I was honored to be a tour guide here for a couple of years. What a wonderful place full of amazing history.

[@Whittdocs]

Wow. Thanks for sharing that with us. It was one of my favorites.

[@chriscourson2824]

have you been to Tallhassee?

[@Whittdocs]

Drove through, but never visited.

[@bonaventuredon896]

Nice video, but you haven't been able to buy a plot in Bonaventure for ten years. Occasionally, people who already have plots will sell individual graves, but that's the only way to be buried there now. And, it's 103 acres, not 160.

[@Sammydushi]

My fam is spread all over sadley my grandpa who i never met he died 11 years before i was born and my uncle are resting togheter would be my grandma and grandpa toghter but my uncle died 2 years before my grandma he was only 29 when my grandma died she was layed to rest on the new cemetery not even with here parents or nothing i feel sad i wish whe could all be togheter to when whe go but not gonne happen sadley

[@Whittdocs]

Thank you so much for sharing. You seem like a very kind person.

[@roselauk3211]

It's sad that the parents are not buried with her and he left her there by her self that's sad you think they want to be with her together

[@Figgatella]

At 06:00 minutes in, it looks like a Native American standing in the middle of the tree like he is starting to materialize if you look close. Also he looks like he had a pony tail in back with what looks like a knife in his head. Maybe it’s just my mind playing tricks on me.💀👻☠️

[@Whittdocs]

I will definitely need to go check that out!

[@misterjared4806]

Why did Gracie Watson die?

[@Whittdocs]

Pneumonia.

[@stevewilkins6562]

How many confederate and union soldiers are buried there
