SUMMARY:Victorian Fads Trolley Tour
DESCRIPTION: \nThe idle rich of the Victorian Era were among the first to truly embrace the notion of pop culture faddishness\, and Green-Wood is home to many of the key characters in these strange and fascinating trends. From arsenic complexion cream and electric corsets\, to séances and spirit photography\, the Victorians missed no opportunity to jump on the latest bandwagon of wacky and sometimes outrageously dangerous medical\, fashionable and spiritual fads. \n \nJoin tour guide Lia Niskanen in examining such complex and compelling figures as Washington Irving Bishop\, one of the great showmen and mentalists; Anne Leah Fox\, the stage mother behind the most successful psychic hoax of the era; William Wilson\, the proprietor of a company that purported to cure ailments with electric and magnetic corsets\, and many more. You will also explore the curious lengths to which Victorian women went to achieve ultra-white skin\, and the strange and dangerous obsession with green dye in the fashions of the day.  \n \n$20 for members of Green-Wood and BHS/$25 for non-members. \n \nGreen-Wood trolley tours are fully accessible and ADA compliant. In order to accommodate a wheelchair or other mobility device on the trolley\, advance arrangements must be made. Please call (718) 210-3080\, ext. 1. Please note that portions of the tour take place outside the trolley and may require exiting the vehicle on multiple occasions. Please contact the Historic Fund for more information. \n \nTrolley tours are run rain or shine\, with the exception of dangerous conditions as determined by Green-Wood.

SUMMARY:Dead Distillers: Book Talk and Tasting
DESCRIPTION: \n \n \n \nWay before Brooklyn had swanky cocktail bars and fancy beer\, an armed battle was fought on the streets of Vinegar Hill between American soldiers and moonshiners who had avoided paying taxes on their enterprise. The Whiskey Wars of 1869 are one of the many fascinating tales in Colin Spoelman’s new book Dead Distillers: A History of the Upstarts and Outlaws Who Made American Spirits. Colin\, co-founder of Kings County Distillery\, details the extensive history of the many personalities who left their mark on liquor and spirit production\, some of whom are now permanent residents of Green-Wood\, including Hezekiah Pierrepont\, Clinton Gilbert\, and Charles Wilson. \n \nColin will share expertise from his new book and offer a tasting of several delectable blends that the Kings County Distillery has been brewing – right here in Brooklyn – since 2010. \n \n$5 for members of Green-Wood and BHS / $10 for non-members. \n \nThis event will be held in our Historic Chapel and will take place rain or shine.

SUMMARY:Death Café
DESCRIPTION:Credit: Art Presson\n \n \n \n \nThe Death Café is a simple concept. It was inspired by the centuries-old European salon (or café) where people gathered informally to discuss philosophical\, political or scientific ideas. In 2011\, British entrepreneur Jon Underwood brought the concept to discussions of the most universal topic of all: death. Underwood’s intention was to provide an opportunity to “increase awareness of death with a view to helping people make the most of their lives.” Today\, there are over 1\,500 death cafes in 26 countries around the world. \n \nBeginning in January 2017\, Green-Wood is proud to host monthly gatherings of the Death Café here in our beautiful\, modern chapel. Amy Cunningham\, death educator and creator of the Brooklyn-based blog TheInspiredFuneral.com\, invites participants to share their thoughts and feelings on death. It’s an opportunity for safe and open exchanges\, without an agenda. Coffee and light snacks are provided. \n \nFree to attend\, RSVP recommended.

SUMMARY:Death Café
DESCRIPTION: \n \n \nThe Death Café is a simple concept. It was inspired by the centuries-old European salon (or café) where people gathered informally to discuss philosophical\, political or scientific ideas. In 2011\, British entrepreneur Jon Underwood brought the concept to discussions of the most universal topic of all: death. Underwood’s intention was to provide an opportunity to “increase awareness of death with a view to helping people make the most of their lives.” Today\, there are over 1\,500 death cafes in 26 countries around the world. \n \nBeginning in January 2017\, Green-Wood is proud to host monthly gatherings of the Death Café here in our beautiful\, modern chapel. Amy Cunningham\, death educator and creator of the Brooklyn-based blog TheInspiredFuneral.com\, invites participants to share their thoughts and feelings on death. It’s an opportunity for safe and open exchanges\, without an agenda. Coffee and light snacks are provided. \n \n“A place for people to discuss our inevitable fate” – Gothamist \n \nFree to attend\, RSVP recommended.

SUMMARY:Pouring Green-Wood
DESCRIPTION: \nWhen Joy Doumis and Jeremy Hammond approached Green-Wood in fall 2015 to ask if they could harvest the apples here\, of course we had to know why. To make hard cider of course! Spread across 478 acres\, our urban orchard has over 150 Malus (aka apple) trees! Using giant tarps to gather apples varieties that include Baldwin\, Granny Smith\, various crab apples\, and a yet-to-be-identified apple variety\, they set about turning their harvest into a delicious fermentation of homemade hard cider.

SUMMARY:(Sold Out) The Victorian Cult of Mourning
DESCRIPTION:This event is sold out. Make sure you never miss out on tickets again! Green-Wood members get access to tickets weeks before the general public. Join today. \nBecome an Expert in the Fascinating Arts\, Crafts\, and Culture of Victorian Mourning \n \nNo one knew how to grieve like the Victorians. The elaborate and often downright weird rituals of the era – inspired by Queen Victoria who publicly mourned her husband’s death for forty years – provide a fascinating look at a culture for whom death was ever present.  In the United States\, losses from the Civil War eclipsed 600\,000 deaths\, or two percent of the entire population. Death was everywhere. Mourning was an art form. Widows dressed in black from head to toe for an entire year. Household mirrors were covered and clocks were stopped when a death occurred. Women created and wore intricate jewelry made from the hair of the deceased.  And rural cemeteries were established across America. Green-Wood is one such example\, which by the 1860’s drew over 500\,000 visitors a year who came to see the cemetery’s collection of ornate monuments and mausoleums.  \nJoin us for an afternoon symposium devoted to exploring the arts and culture of Victorian mourning with illustrated talks and show-and-tell presentations of period artifacts. Speakers will include Dr. Stanley Burns\, M.D.\, founder of the Burns Archive of photographic history and professor of medicine and psychiatry at NYU Langone Medical Center\, Green-Wood Historian Jeff Richman\, Evan Michelson\, co-owner of Obscura Antiques & Oddities and host of the Science Channel’s Oddities\, funeral director Amy Cunningham\, Jessica Glasscock\, Research Associate for the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s “Death Becomes Her” Exhibition\, and more! \nThis symposium is organized in partnership with Joanna Ebenstein\, co-founder of the former Museum of Morbid Anatomy and Laetitia Barbier\, former librarian of the Museum.  \n \nSCHEDULE \n12:00-12:30: Introductions by Harry Weil\, Manager of Programs at Green-Wood Cemetery and Joanna Ebenstein and Laetitia Barbier of the recently shuttered Morbid Anatomy Museum \n12:30-1:10: An Illustrated History of Green-Wood Cemetery with Jeff Richman\, Historian of Green-Wood Cemetery \n1:10-2:00: Victorian Hair Jewelry and Artifact Art Show and Tell with Evan Michelson of Obscura Antiques and TV’s Oddities and master jeweler and hair artist Karen Bachmann \nLunch Break \n3:00-3:30: Mourning at the Museum:  An overview of the recent exhibition Death Becomes Her\, focusing on the evolution of mourning attire from 1815 to 1915\, with Jessica Glasscock\, Research Associate at The Costume Institute at The Metropolitan Museum of Art \n3:30-4:30: Dr. Stanley B. Burns\, Founder of The Burns Archive and author of “Sleeping Beauty\,” in conversation with Joanna Ebenstein\, founder of Morbid Anatomy \n4:30-5:00: Dramatic readings of 19th century condolence letters overseen by Funeral Director Amy Cunningham \n5:00-7:00 Thematic music and refreshments provided by Friese Undine \n \n$20 for members of Green-Wood and BHS / $25 for nonmembers \nClick here for our inclement weather policy.
