Historic Sites & Monuments

Georgia’s historic landscape spans centuries of military, architectural, and local history. This collection features Savannah’s oldest burial grounds, including Colonial Park Cemetery with plots from the 1700s and the riverside Bonaventure Cemetery. Military history is represented by the 19th-century Fort Jackson and the modern World War II memorial. Architectural highlights include late 1800s covered bridges in Thomaston and Hilton, while the legendary "Tree That Owns Itself" in Athens offers a rare example of legal property rights granted to nature.
