Scandals, Scalawags & Murder Most Foul
TOUR UPDATE: This Sunday's tour is still scheduled, rain or shine. Due to chance of rain during the tour, this walking tour may become a trolley tour, accommodating the first 60 ticket holders. In the case of rain and a full trolley, any ticket holder who is not able to fit on the trolley will be compensated with a "rain check free walking tour voucher."
Visit some of Green-wood Cemetery's most nefarious residents. Green-Wood is the final resting place of many famous and heroic people, but some of its deceased denizens have a more blemished reputation. Murderers and the murdered, a sullied adulteress, a famous courtesan, gangsters, con men and schemers lie next to those of a more virtuous disposition. This walking tour will be hilly and strenuous - wear good walking shoes.
Advance tickets available. No reservations are necessary.
