1 p.m. Southern Exposure: More Tales of Green-Wood Walking Tour

September 16, 2012, 1:00pm3:30pm

 
 

Follow veteran Green-Wood tour guide Ruth Edebohls to the less-seen southern side of the cemetery, where monuments and mausoleums have many fascinating stories to tell.

Hear the stories of the Park Slope plane crash of 1960, “Truth Seeker” D. M. Bennett, a Russian prince, gangsters Joey Gallo and Albert Anastasia, lyricist Fred Ebb, an early Richard Upjohn mausoleum, several artists, the generation-spanning Cutter family from a Civil War general to a 20th-century U.S. senator, and more. Walk may be hilly and strenuous — wear good walking shoes.

Walking tour: $10 for members of The Green-Wood Historic Fund / $15 for non-members. Reservations recommended.
