Then, they witness the excitementof seeing dolphins frolicking near Tybee Island andglimpse two historic lighthouses, the Tybee IslandLight Station and the Cockspur Lighthouse.

Other times, the boat goes out the intracoastalwaterway and passes Daufuskie Island, SouthCarolina, with a narrated tour about the historyof the Lowcountry. Dolphins can often be seenin the wild near Daufuskie Island, providing a

thrill for visitors and residents alike.

Each dolphin tour celebrates thediversity of the ecosystem alongcoastal Georgia, offering plenty ofinformation about local beaches,tidal marshes and wildlife, fromsea turtles to shore birds. Dolphintours last approximately 2 hours.

SHOPPING

River Street, perhaps the most popular tourist area of Savannah, has not always been the prosperous historic waterfront that it is now. In the mid-70s,

determined to revive the history and the glory of River Street, local landowners,area business people, the City of Savannah and urban planners joined togetherto create the River Street Urban Renewal Project. Completed in 1977, with acost of $7 million, the Project succeeded in breathing new life into Savannah’shistoric waterfront by transforming abandoned warehouse space into a color-

ful array of shops, restaurants, galleries and boutiques creating a revitalized historic area to be enjoyed by one and all.

No visit to Savannah is com-plete without a visit to the city’shistoric cemeteries, each of whichserves as a final resting place formany of Savannah’s most fasci-nating residents. Each of thesecemeteries is situated amidincredibly scenic surroundings.

Even if cemeteries give yougoosebumps, you’ll be glad youstopped by to experience someof Savannah’s unique historyfirsthand. Just don’t stay too long!

BONAVENTURECEMETERY

Immortalized by John Berendtin his bestseller Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil,Bonaventure is the final restingplace for many of Savannah’smost prominent citizens includ-ing songwriter Johnny Mercer(1909-1976), poet Conrad Aiken(1889-1973) and plantationowner Noble Jones (1701-1775),one of Savannah’s original set-tlers who colonized the city withGeneral James Oglethorpe in1733. Located along the scenicbanks of the Wilmington River,Bonaventure Cemetery alsofeatures group burials for theAmerican Legion Field, theConfederate States of America,the Order of Railroad Conductorsand the veterans of the Spanish-American War.

Originally a 600-acre plantation,Bonaventure was sold for $5,000in 1846 to Savannah business-man Peter Wiltberger, who turnedthe land into a public cemeterycalled Evergreen Cemetery. TheCity of Savannah purchasedEvergreen Cemetery in 1907and turned it into BonaventureCemetery.

Savannah photographer JackLeigh captured the image thatgraces the cover of Midnight inthe Garden of Good and Evil —a burial statue, nicknamed “TheBird Girl,” that once stood in theheart of Bonaventure Cemetery.The “Bird Girl” statue is current-ly on display at the TelfairMuseum of Art.HOW TO GET THERE:Bonaventure is located just off Pennsylvania Avenue onBonaventure Road.HOURS: Open daily from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.

COLONIAL PARKCEMETERY

Colonial Park Cemetery is thecity’s only non-active cemetery,meaning that no more burials takeplace on this historic plot of land,located at the corner of AbercornStreet and Oglethorpe Avenue.

Walk through the graceful archerected by the Daughters of theAmerican Revolution and you will

discover a window into Savannah’srich past. Many of Savannah’searliest settlers are buried inColonial Park, whose gravestonesdate back to the 1700’s.

Today, Colonial Park Cemeteryserves as a park for manySavannah residents. ManySavannahians stroll through thecemetery in the early morning orwalk their dogs within the ceme-tery’s wrought iron perimeter inthe evening. HOW TO GET THERE: Themain entrance is located at thecorner of Abercorn Street andOglethorpe Avenue.HOURS: Open daily from 8 a.m.to 8 p.m.

LAUREL GROVECEMETERY

Established in 1852, Laurel GroveCemetery has thousands of gravesthat reflect Savannah’s rich his-tory, situated amid groves of liveoak, magnolia and dogwood trees.This contemplative site, whichfeatures ornate ironwork and mag-nificent statuary on many of thelots, was once called SpringfieldPlantation.

Laurel Grove is divided into twodistinct sections, by a highwayconnector. Laurel Grove North,perhaps the better-known partof the cemetery, is the burial placeof hundreds of Confederatesoldiers as well as prominentcitizens like Juliette GordonLow, the founder of the GirlScouts, and Florence Martus,Savannah’s “The Waving Girl.”

Laurel Grove South serves asthe final resting place for manymembers of Savannah’s African-American community.
