The Story
Savannah's oldest intact burial ground, final resting place of Button Gwinnett (signer of the Declaration of Independence, whose autograph is the rarest and most valuable of all signers). Legend says Union troops moved headstones during the Civil War. Now a peaceful park where locals walk dogs among 18th-century graves.
