Greenwich Plantation (also known as Greenwich Place)[1] was a plantation founded in colonial Savannah, Province of Georgia, in 1765, on land now occupied by Greenwich Cemetery. The 100-acre (0.40 km2)[2] site included a plantation house (completed in 1900) and private cemetery, and was located on the Wilmington River, about 3.5 miles (6 kilometres) east of the Savannah colony. It was located immediately to the north of (and on the same bluff as) Bonaventure Plantation, which existed until 1868 on land now occupied by Bonaventure Cemetery.[3] Its mile-long driveway still exists to the left of Bonaventure's main gates.
