 Before Central Park, New Yorkers escaped the city to the Green-Wood Cemetery, not just a resting place for some of New York City’s notable residents, but an oasis tucked away in Brooklyn. On this tour, we’ll start at the high Victorian Gothic Revival Brownstone gates designed by the distinguished American architect Richard Upjohn. We’ll visit the historic chapel designed by Warren & Wetmore (architects of Grand Central Terminal), as well as explore the grounds of Beaux Arts mausoleums, some featuring Tiffany glass windows, while listening to the stories of some of New York City’s prominent families that eternally reside on the grounds. PLEASE NOTE:
- Walk covers approximately 1.5 mile, very hilly, some stairs, uneven paths.
- Tour starts at the main entrance of Green-Wood Cemetery, Fifth Avenue and 25th Street, Brooklyn.
- Precise meeting location will be provided a few days before the event.
