Winter Wanders

Craving an unforgettable cemetery experience? This winter, set off on a ninety-minute walking tour of Green-Wood, where around each winding path and tranquil pond there’s a story waiting to be uncovered. 

This tour offers a blend of fascinating history and expansive vistas. You’ll marvel at the grand monument of John Matthews, the "Soda Fountain King," who revolutionized carbonated beverages; hear the tragic tale of the ill-fated Do-Hum-Me; and unravel the scandalous M**der mystery surrounding dentist Harvey Burdell, whose case captivated nineteenth-century New York.
