There are several historic cemeteries in Savannah. Since I had already been to the Bonaventure, and the local cemetery in downtown Savannah decided to visit this smaller jewel of a cemetery. There are Expedia tours for all the cemeteries, however, I prefer exploring alone.

Was pleased to visit the grave of Juliet Gordon Lowe, founder of the Girl Scouts, as that was the happiest memories of my youth.

Juliet Gordon Lowe’s home is open to the public. It is a phenomenal tour.

There also were some interesting stones in Laurel Gardens.

The Jewish portion of the cemetery..

And while I was unable to find Nathaniel Hawthorne’s resting place I did locate James Pierpont, who is known for writing Jingle Bells, and The One Horse Open Sleigh.

Next: Mrs. Wilkes for lunch

Stopped here for lunch and what an amazing fare! This restaurant is on 107 West Jones Street, in Savannah, and one not to miss, but bring your appetite as there is much to chow down…

Another amazing lunch and no wait- what more can a girl ask for! Hours are 11-2, Monday through Friday and bring cash as Mrs. Wilkes’ does not take plastic.
