SUMMARY:Pencil Passion
DESCRIPTION: \nRing in the new school year with a look at the hidden history inside your pencil case. Those age-old writing tools may seem humdrum\, but in the early years of pencil production in America\, the tiny tools were the focus of fierce competition. American companies\, including several in New York\, vied for customers through new ideas\, designs\, and advertisements. In Green-Wood’s Historic Chapel\, we’ll explore the history\, development\, and simple appeal of the pencil with Caroline Weaver\, lifelong pencil enthusiast and owner of the new Lower East Side shop CW Pencils. Caroline will discuss the crowded pencil market of the 19th and early 20th century\, including the innovations of successful pencil man Eberhard Faber\, buried at Green-Wood in 1879. Beautiful and varied examples of pencils from Caroline’s personal collection will be on display\, along with historic advertisements and other objects. After the talk\, the Green-Wood trolley will bring you to Faber’s monument to pay your respect to the pencil king – and do a grave rubbing using some of his storied graphite\, too.  \n \nThis event has two parts\, with separate tickets for each part: \n\nThe free talk in the historic Green-Wood chapel.\nA guided trolley tour immediately following the talk. Tickets are $15 for members of the Green-Wood Historic Fund and BHS and $20 for non-members.\n\nPlease include both free talk tickets and trolley tour tickets in your order if you would like to attend both parts of the event. Seating is limited for both the talk and the trolley tour\, and reservations are recommended. \n \n \nGreen-Wood trolley tours are fully accessible and ADA compliant. \n \nClick here for our inclement weather policy. \n \nMobile users: Please tap here to buy tickets.\n \n \n\nNot a Member?\nClick here for all of our membership levels and information. \nAlready a Member?\nClick the “Enter promotional code here (members\, use your ID#)” link in the bottom right corner of the ticket box and enter your ID number to apply your ticket discount.

SUMMARY:Playing First: Early Baseball Lives at Green-Wood
DESCRIPTION: \nJoin Thomas W. Gilbert\, baseball historian and author\, to celebrate his newly published book Playing First: Early Baseball Lives at Brooklyn’s Green-Wood Cemetery. Gilbert is an expert in baseball’s 19th-century New York City and Brooklyn origins\, and Green-Wood’s history there is unmatched – an astounding number of early baseball innovators and players are interred at the cemetery. Playing First is the culmination of Gilbert’s extensive research into the little known professional\, political\, and military lives of these baseball pioneers. In Green-Wood’s Historic Chapel\, Gilbert will reveal many fascinating stories included in his newly published book\, including the truth about what actually killed famed baseball martyr James Creighton\, and how a feud between baseball and cricket in early America changed Creighton’s legacy forever. After the talk\, Gilbert will sign books before leading a trolley tour of baseball pioneers with Green-Wood Historian Jeff Richman. \n \nThis event has two parts\, with separate tickets for each part: \n\nThe free talk in the historic Green-Wood chapel.\nA guided trolley tour immediately following the talk.
