Monument commemorating Revolutionary war hero Nathanael Greene located on Johnson Square in Savannah. In appreciation for his role, the state of Georgia awarded Greene with Mulberry Grove Plantation near Savannah. In 1786, Greene died of sunstroke and was buried in Colonial Park Cemetery. In 1902, the remains of Greene and his son were removed to Johnston Square and reburied within the base of a new monument built in his honor.
