Traveling in or near Savannah, GA and a fan of John Berendt's "Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil"? 
 
No trip to Savannah is complete without touring downtown Savannah, the Old Bonaventure Cemetery, the Greenwich Cemetery and The Telfair Museum of Art.
 
I've lived in the South for most of my adult life but previously had never had to chance to tour Savannah.  Recently, I finally had a chance to tour most of the spots associated with John Berendt's "Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil".

Another view of the Mercer plot.  The cemetery is the burial place of many historic Savannah residents and is well worth a look around.
