In Short – Savannah's primary burial ground between 1750 and 1853 is worth a self-guided tour. Many of the city's important historical figures are buried here, including Button Gwinnett, a signer of the Declaration of Independence. You'll find the graves of prominent Savannah business minds, governors, publishers and inventors. Years of neglect and vandalism have led to the destruction of many tombstones. Hundreds of stones are missing, while the inscriptions of others are worn or have been altered.
