There is a compelling reason why the contract for filmmaker Ken Burns’ American Journeys Tour Series was awarded to us! Since 2002, Shannon Scott and his talented guides have been offering visitors more than just a tour of a cemetery; they provide an unparalleled journey through a sacred story ground. Visitors will be captivated by the beauty and the fascinating characters interred here, while also being intrigued by the hidden meanings of the esoteric and religious symbols that adorn the grave art, many of which have connections to Savannah and our daily lives. This tour is a history enthusiast’s dream, but Bonaventure is also a sanctuary for wildlife, hosting over 100 bird species daily, including owls, hawks, eagles, as well as foxes and occasionally dolphins in the river! It’s a photographer’s paradise, and for film enthusiasts, Bonaventure has been a filming location since the Silent Film Era, continuing to modern Film & TV, and is famously linked to Midnight In The Garden of Good and Evil! By the end of the tour, participants will feel like mini-experts and grateful for the adventure!
