The work of Green-Wood’s #restoration and #conservation department, brilliantly headed by @brooklyn_conservator, will have you doing double takes! These before-and-afters are (literally) refreshing, and truly inspiring. Keep it up, Neela and crew! #historicgreenwood #greenwoodcemetery #brooklyn #preservation

COUNTDOWN: Just one month until the parade of flag

COUNTDOWN: Just one month until the parade of flags and family-friendly celebration that is the BATTLE OF BROOKLYN COMMEMORATION AND FAMILY DAY! Mark your calendars for Sunday, August 25th, from 11:00am to 3:00pm. The Battle of Brooklyn was the first battle of the American Revolution to occur after the signing of the Declaration of Independence. Also the largest battle of the Revolutionary War, it included a significant engagement on land that is now part of The Green-Wood Cemetery. What did this battle mean to the many different people in New York and Brooklyn at the time? Green-Wood shares the many perspectives of this revolutionary chapter. All ages are welcome; this program is part of Battle Week organized by our friends at the @oldstonehousebklyn. Details via link in bio. #historicgreenwood #greenwoodcemetery #brooklyn

Visiting EXIT STRATEGY has served, for many, as a “permission” to feel unguarded about their own experiences and emotions surrounding loss and grieving, Artist in Residence Adam Tendler (@adamtendler) shared in a recent podcast interview with @completedlifeinitiative. Now on view inside Green-Wood’s Fort Hamilton Gatehouse, EXIT STRATEGY is partly Adam’s response to his own question following his father’s death: What was I left with that I didn’t ask for? He invites visitors to explore and share answers as well. He continued: “[The work] is doing what I’d hoped; it’s actually helping people … Sometimes we don’t have a place to put that stuff [inherited objects] physically … we inherit a lot.”⁠⁠Visit EXIT STRATEGY this week (Gatehouse is open Saturdays and Sundays from 11:00am to 4:00pm now through August 25th) and meet Adam Tendler at his ARTIST RECEPTION on Thursday, August 1st, at 6:00pm at the Fort Hamilton Gatehouse.
