Looking for some easy New Yearโs Resolutions? The Bonaventure Historical Society has a few ideas.
โ
Like history and hanging out in cemeteries? Become a volunteer! You can help out at the visitor center, with tours, or with our azaleas and camellias.
โ
Donโt have the time or donโt live close?
Become a member of the Bonaventure Historical Society! Membership gets you a quarterly newsletter with stories about the people who call it their final resting place and updates about the cemetery. Members also are invited to our annual dinner and get admission discounts for our Living History lecture series and our special fall tour.

Noble come over to Georgia on the ๐๐ฏ๐ฏ with Savannahโs founder Gen. James Oglethorpe in 1733. He was eventually given the land that is now Wormsloe State Histotic Site.
โ
When he died in 1775, he was originally buried at Wormsloe but was later moved to Colonial Park Cemetery in Savannah. Finally, he was moved to Bonaventure where we hope he stays.
