Winter Wanders

It may be cold outside, but don’t let that stop you from discovering Green-Wood! On this leisurely ninety-minute walking tour you’ll visit the elaborate monument of John Matthews, the Soda Fountain King; hear the tragic tale of the young bride, Do-Hum-Me; and learn about the headline-grabbing M**der of dentist Harvey Burdell; all while strolling down the winding paths and around the picturesque ponds of the Cemetery’s historic landscape.
