Bonaventure Cemetery's story starts almost a century before it became a burial ground at all. In 1762, Colonel John Mullryne established Bonaventure Plantation on a bluff above Saint Augustine Creek, planting live oaks every 15 feet along the estate's roads rather than putting the land into crops — the same oak allées, now draped in Spanish moss, that visitors walk beneath today. It wasn't until 1846 that Savannah businessman Peter Wiltberger bought the 600-acre plantation and set aside 70 of those acres as a private cemetery, then hired landscape designer James H. Rion in 1850 to lay out the grounds in the fashionable rural-cemetery style, with winding paths and family plots tucked among the existing oaks rather than a rigid grid.
Ownership kept changing hands after that: Wiltberger's son formed the Evergreen Cemetery Company in 1868 to run the grounds, and the City of Savannah finally purchased the company outright on July 7, 1907, renaming it Bonaventure Cemetery and opening it fully to the public. What began as a 70-acre private plot has grown considerably since, and that long, layered ownership history is part of why Bonaventure feels less like a single planned cemetery and more like a 19th-century plantation landscape that was gradually given over to the dead.
The Cathedral of St. John the Baptist carries its own dramatic rebuilding story. First dedicated on April 30, 1876, the cathedral was gutted by a fire on February 6, 1898, that left little standing but the exterior walls and two spires. Savannah's Catholic community rebuilt quickly — the first Mass in the restored building was held in December 1899, and the cathedral was formally rededicated in October 1900 — though finishing touches continued for more than a decade. The Great Rose Window above the organ, a 20-foot quatrefoil centered on St. Cecilia, and the cathedral's stained glass, hand-crafted in Austria by Innsbruck glassmakers and installed around 1904, both date to that post-fire rebuilding era rather than the original 1876 structure.
Isle of Hope has an entirely different history, having started out in the 1840s and '50s as a summer retreat where well-off Savannah families escaped the city's heat and mosquitoes. A postwar railroad line connecting it to downtown turned it into a year-round suburb by the early 20th century, and its Greek Revival, Victorian, and Craftsman homes along the Skidaway River now make up a National Register historic district — with the marina your tour passes sitting right in the middle of it.
