Overview

Savannah’s ONLY after hours, cemetery tour! Conducted by Shannon Scott, this specialty adult tour delves into layers of secret society topics, root doctor ritual work, gangsters, bootleggers, murderous lovers and other clandestine story gems that Scott defines as “the taboo tales” of Bonaventure. For fans of Midnight In The Garden of Good & Evil? This is the ultimate show as you roam the grounds discussed in the novel where many of the characters are now buried and per expectation told in a highly personal, maverick manner by The Bard of Bonaventure, Shannon Scott!

Meeting points

Bonaventure Cemetery From Downtown Savannah we recommend taking East Liberty route to Wheaton St and traveling Wheaton until it becomes Skidaway Rd. Once at a "Little 5 Points" intersection, you'll turn Left on E. 36th St. This bumps right into Bonaventure another mile down. Approx 10-15 minutes.

End point

This activity ends back at the meeting point.

  • Bonaventure Cemetery

    During this 2.5 hour tour, you will be joining a very exclusive club of people who have seen the cemetery after it closes to the public. Not since it opened in 1846 has this been an opportunity, but thanks to your very special local host, now it is. You are literally locked in the cemetery the entire time; for the right taker, there's no price you can put on the joy of that. Imagine having the serenity, stillness, and quiet of the cemetery, uninterrupted by the living world. Stories stretch from the present day all the way back to Bonaventure's plantation beginnings in 1754. Our topics range from the funny and uplifting to the macabre at its most morbid. Some of the stories that will be covered include those of: • A "hooch runner" for Al Capone • A bizarre love story that ended in one murder and one visit to the electric chair • Savannah's role in The DaVinci Code • Lady Minerva & Jim Williams in Midnight in The Garden of Good and Evil

Excellent guide and fascinating tour

Published on Dec, 2024

Bonaventure is a beautiful, peaceful place in the daytime, so we wanted to learn more. I thought it might be spooky at night, but it wasn’t. We had also taken a Savannah ghost tour where 90% was completely fabricated and good people’s reputations were besmirched by lies and it was important to us that the truth- whatever it was- was told. Shannon addressed my concerns and I felt he was truthful and sincere. We visited 6 different plots in the Cemetery for information. It’s totally interesting material- lots of Masonic stuff, rich people crazy, and characters. Shannon was very knowledgeable and prepared for questions. I love history and appreciate people who truly love going down the rabbit holes of it all. Highly recommend this tour. It’s not Halloween ish or silly, it’s fascinating trivia and I’d love to go again to different parts of the Cemetery on tour with him as a guide.

Interesting Tour That Was Well Done!

Published on Nov, 2024

Great tour. Interesting subject matter and relevant stories. They provided lanterns for walking in the dark. My wife and I enjoyed it. It was the highlight of all the tours we took.

Must do while in Savannah!

Published on Nov, 2024

Shannon is the real deal! We did the Halloween evening tour. Very educational and interesting insight as to Bonaventure. Highly recommend!

I wasn't entirely sure...

Published on Oct, 2024

I wasn't entirely sure what I signed up for, but I was pleasantly surprised. Shannon is a fantastic storyteller and very knowledgeable about things. Will definitely keep following!

Worth it!

Published on Oct, 2024

Shannon knows everything there is to know about Bonaventure. Cool guy! More history in this cemetery than we could ever know. Lots of mystery and intrigue. Loved carrying around a lantern in the dark.
