The bumps? Funky. The bugs? Fascinating. The tour?

The bumps? Funky. The bugs? Fascinating. The tour? Open to all! Join us for BEHIND THE BUMPS: LEAF GALLS AND THEIR ECOLOGICAL IMPACT this Sunday, October 6th, at 10:30am. Free to all; register via link in bio. Walk with us into the world of leaf galls, those funky bumps you’ve likely seen on leaves and wondered, “what’s going on here?” Dr. Emily Herstoff from St. Francis College and Dr. Michael Tessler from Medgar Evers College, CUNY (our 2024 Green-Wood Environmental Research Fellows) are our guides on this hour-long walk to explore these curious growths and shares why they play a surprisingly crucial role in our ecosystems. #historicgreenwood #greenwoodcemetery

There’s a chill in the air and the sun is setting earlier—it’s fall! That means it’s time for Green-Wood’s seasonal hours change. As of October 1st, our Main Entrance will be open 8:00am to 6:00pm daily to pedestrians and vehicles. For hours at each of our other three entrances, check the link in our bio. Please note, hours will shift once again on November 3rd following Daylight Savings Time. 📸 @meg.saluga #historicgreenwood #greenwoodcemetery

It’s no exaggeration: this month, THOUSANDS of you will pass through the Main Entrance Arch to experience the special magic that is Green-Wood in the Fall—whether for NIGHTFALL: TIME FLIES (tickets still available!), one of our walking or trolley tours, or simply on a solo visit in search of solitude and a space for reflection. We look forward to welcoming you. 📸 @zenithgraver #historicgreenwood #greenwoodcemetery

Darkness descends and our journey is just beginning! Join us for GREEN-WOOD AFTER HOURS, an intriguing exploration of the Cemetery after the sun has set and the heavy gates have been locked. On this walking tour, we’ll weave through a stunning landscape made new in its day-to-night transition, visiting the graves of fascinating figures in New York and American history. This not-to-be-missed walking tour ends with a visit to the Catacombs, which are normally closed to the public. AFTER HOURS tours take place throughout the fall season; register via link in bio. 📸 @_timo_redux_ #historicgreenwood #greenwoodcemetery
