Historic Cemetery Near Center of Savannah
Colonial Park Cemetery的点评
点评：Colonial cemetery is probably the second-most famous cemetery in Savannah, the first being the much larger and more impressive Bonaventure Cemetery about 3 miles outside of town. That should not deter you from visiting, however, and this one is pretty much in the center of town.
This cemetery’s history parallels that of the city, with fortunes that rise and fall and events such as plagues or even fashion trends. They believe that something like 10,000 people are buried here, but there are only 600 or so gravestones – many of the original grave sites have been lost. Many are in vaults, not entirely unlike the ones in New Orleans (although there is no water table here). Many bodies were moved to other cemeteries when this one was not being maintained.
Perhaps the most famous occupant of this cemetery is Button Gwinnett, one of the signers of the Declaration of Independence. He was famous for a time in the Guiness Book of World records for having the most expensive signature sold at auction. He, or a robot named for him, also appears in the videogame Fallout 3 in the Smithsonian Institution of the year 2277. He stupidly died in a duel less than a year after signing the declaration, and the guy who shot him is also buried here. However, they are not sure quite where in the cemetery he is buried, so they have just a plaque.
Some of the gravestones have been altered, some say by union soldiers, to make it look like the individuals lived for hundreds of years.
Note the mistletoe growing in some of the trees.
This is a convenient place for a stroll and, perhaps, to get some of the history from 250 years ago. Admission is free.

翻译：殖民地公墓可能是萨凡纳第二著名的公墓，第一名是位于城外约3英里处、规模更大、更令人印象深刻的博纳文图尔公墓。但这不应该阻止您前来参观，因为殖民地公墓几乎就在市中心。
这座公墓的历史与这座城市的历史息息相关，见证了财富的兴衰，也见证了瘟疫甚至时尚潮流等事件的变迁。据信这里埋葬着大约10000人，但墓碑却只有600多块——许多原始墓穴已经消失。许多遗骸被安放在墓穴中，与新奥尔良的墓穴颇为相似（尽管这里没有地下水位）。在公墓年久失修期间，许多遗骸被迁葬到其他公墓。
也许这座公墓中最著名的安息者是巴顿·格温内特，他是《独立宣言》的签署人之一。他曾因签名拍卖价格最高而载入吉尼斯世界纪录。他本人，或者说一个以他名字命名的机器人，也出现在2277年的史密森尼博物馆中，出现在电子游戏《辐射3》里。签署宣言不到一年，他就愚蠢地死于决斗，而枪杀他的人也葬于此地。然而，人们并不确定他具体葬在墓园的哪个位置，所以只有一块牌匾。
一些墓碑被篡改过，据说是联邦士兵所为，目的是让墓主人看起来像活了数百年。
请注意一些树上生长的槲寄生。
这里是散步的好去处，或许还能了解一些250年前的历史。免费入场。
