Gay Green-Wood: Family Edition! Trolley Tour

Join us for a special kid-friendly trolley tour celebrating LGBTQ+ trailblazers who have left a lasting impact on American history and culture, led by one of Green-Wood’s experienced educators. You’ll visit the gravesites of Paul Jabara, co-writer of “It’s Raining Men;” Emma Stebbins, sculptor of the Angel of the Waters at Central Park’s Bethesda Fountain; and more as you explore queer history and memory together as a family. Experience the powerful stories of those who paved the way for future generations of LGBTQ+ leaders.

This trolley tour is offered for free to make Green-Wood's rich history more accessible to the public.
