With 30 acres of things to see, Forsyth Park is an iconic Savannah attraction with a little something for everyone.

LEARN

Just a few blocks from Forsyth Fountain, dive into the history of the civil rights movement in Georgia at the Ralph Mark Gilbert Civil Rights Museum. Recognized as “Georgia’s Official Civil Rights Museum” in 2009, the museum consists of three floors of interactive exhibits. Attendees have the chance to see a recreation of a lunch counter where many civil rights protests began.

Known for its serene beauty and history, Bonaventure Cemetery was established in 1846 and is now a must-see destination for Savannah history. Group tours focus on history, famous residents, and unique burial art. The biggest readers in your group might recognize the cemetery from the role it played in the Savannah-set book “Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil.”
