Bonaventure Historical Society [GA]
Organized in 1994, the Bonaventure Historical Society is dedicated to the evolution and preservation of the Bonaventure Plantation and Cemetery as a historical and educational site. Bonaventure Plantation is located in Savannah, Georgia, and was the colonial home of John and Laudia Mullryne and their family until 1846. The home reflects the lifestyle of political leaders in Georgia as Georgia progressed from a British colony to an American state. The plantation was converted into Evergreen Cemetery in 1868, and was purchased by the City of Savannah in 1907 and renamed Bonaventure Cemetery. Today, the cemetery encompasses 100 acres and reflects the prominent personalities whose perseverance created the present state of Georgia.
The site offers detailed information about the history of the plantation and associated cemetery, a brief sample of the society newsletter, legal information on the society, information for prospective society members, and visitor information for Bonaventure Plantation and Cemetery.
