Unlike Savannah's Bonaventure Cemetery which counts

among its "occupants" the likes of Johnnie Mercer, and liter-

ary references in books like "Midnight in the Garden of Good

and Evil" that have made it a tourist destination, Laurel Grove

is largely forgotten. Though Juliette Lowe, founder of the Girl

Scouts, is buried there with a number of Savannah's most

prominent people from times past, the cemetery is quickly fall-

ing into disarray. Many of the oldest crypts are literally falling

apart and several are little more than rubble now.

We have rarely seen anyone else when we have visited

this cemetery. If you are going to Savannah, you can find this

museum on the west side of town, not far from the historic

waterfront.

Add it to your list of places to visit.
