Outreach & Education

In conjunction with local public schools, the Historic Fund offers educational programs on topics ranging from the Civil War to art and architecture. The ever-expanding Historic Fund Archives records the history of the Cemetery with photographs, documents and artifacts of Green-Wood and its permanent residents. Stories about many of these residents, as well as coverage of Historic Fund events and Green-Wood news, are published in The Arch, the Historic Fund’s magazine. The Historic Fund Bookstore offers books about Green-Wood, as well as best-selling and hard-to-find books about its famous and infamous inhabitants.
