Laurel Grove South Cemetery

There is only one nice part of this cemetery and its by the canal, where there arent any gravestones. Theres a lot of open, unused space here which is nice for dogs. The area is very sketchy and not safe after the sun goes down. Many homeless people live in the park nearby that cut through here often as a shortcut. The Laurel Grove North Cemetery feels much safer and appears to be in better condition.

Very solemn place, but recommended if you want to see this piece of history . Took the children to show appreciation for the sacrifice our enslaved ancestors made for us.

My wife and I came to spend Valentines Day in Savannah in hopes of taking in the rich history of the region. The first place we visited was the Laurel Grove South Cemetery. We found a peaceful place that could've been better kept. It contained graves that were almost 230 years old! One particular place that carried especially heavy emotions and struck me with an extra heavy weight was the slaves burial place. Many where laid to rest in graves that were either unmarked or had headstones that could barely be read due to the lack of upkeep and time. The feeling of pain and sorrow was thick. We stood there for a long time and honored the many lives lost to the unimaginable horror they experienced at the hands of their "masters." Many of the city's African American clergy were also laid to rest here. It's a strange mix of hope and sadness, but it's definitely a place to go if cemeteries are "your thing."

Beautiful cemetery, please visit the north section, this is an incredible place. Gigantic mausoleums and monuments, diverse plant life, very well kept.
