May is Jewish American Heritage Month! The Bonaventure Historical Society is recognizing the accomplishments and contributions of our Jewish Savannahians with a special tour on May 3rd at 1 pm.

Learn about the bakery behind the first commercially available Girl Scout cookies, the woman who fought for World War II refugees, religious and community leaders, and the people whose names are literally built into the buildings lining Broughton Street.

The tour will begin at the cemetery offices outside by the Jewish Gate inside the cemetery. Simply follow the blue signs. It is a free tour, but space is limited to 20 people. Donations go towards the preservation of the historic cemetery monuments and gardens.

The tour is just over an hour. Parking is free within Bonaventure Cemetery. This walking tour traverses payment and gravel roads and is obviously held outside in the elements. Tours are typically only canceled for severe weather (lightning, hurricanes, snow, etc...)

Bonaventure Historical Society reserves the right to modify or cancel events at anytime with or without notice.
