About this Event

Get ready for a captivating journey through history! Join Jeff Richman for an unforgettable trolley tour that will transport you back over 160 years. Using 3D images from the 1860s, he will reveal how the Cemetery looked in its earliest days and treat you to memorable views of the Brooklyn Bridge as it was being built.

Jeff has dedicated his career to preserving Green-Wood’s remarkable stories and has written several books, including Building the Brooklyn Bridge: An Illustrated History in 3D.

Note: 3D glasses will be provided to all attendees.
