Summary
Title, date and keywords based on information provided by the photographer.
One of Savannah's most beautiful restorations, it is the final resting place for many of Savannah's earliest citizens. Established about 1750, it was the original burial ground for the Christ Church Parish. The cemetery was enlarged in 1789 to become the graveyard for people of all denominations. Among those buried here are Button Gwinnett, a signer of the Declaration of Independence. More than 700 victims of the 1820 Yellow Fever epidemic are buried in Colonial Park Cemetery.
