Townsend Harris
The monuments and mausoleums of Green-Wood have many fascinating stories to tell and some of the most interesting are not about the most famous. Visit with tour guide Ruth Edebohls the final resting places and hear the stories of the Father of Baseball, a pioneering embalmer, the scandalous wife of an equally scandalous Civil War general, the “best woman who ever lived,” Charles Ebbets, Johnny Torrio, Elmer Sperry, Juan Trippe, James Gordon Bennett, Townsend Harris, F.A.O. Schwarz and more. A tourist attraction 150 years ago, Green-Wood today still has the power to draw us and keep us coming back with its beauty, grandeur and history.

Frank Morgan as the Wizard of Oz
Explore the less-visited other side of Green-Wood, whose deceased denizens are no less fascinating. Visit with Green-Wood Historic Fund tour guide Ruth Edebohls the last resting places of artists Jean-Michel Basquiat and John Frederick Kensett, a silent western film star, the Wizard of Oz, the founder of the ASPCA, the inventor of the hot dog, Civil War generals, minstrels (white performers of “blackness” in exaggerated costumes and blackface make-up, supposedly for comedic effect, but relying on racist derision and stereotyping at its core, from the mid-19th century well into the 20th century), and many more. You’ll also enjoy the visual delights of Green-Wood, its trees and its sculpture and buildings by the leading architects and artists of their day. Walk may be hilly and strenuous—wear good walking shoes.
Ruth Edebohls worked for the Brooklyn Center for the Urban Environment as its Coordinator of Urban Tours and as a tour guide for 15 years. A Brooklyn native, she is a licensed New York City Tour Guide and urban historian with a special enthusiasm for Green-Wood Cemetery.

2011-09-25 11:00 - 13:00 | Green-Wood Cemetery, 500 25th Street, Brooklyn, NY, 11232, United States
Sunday, September 25, 2011
New York Draft Riots illustration

The Draft Riots of 1863 are one of the saddest chapters in New York City history. Many of the participants—both famous and unknown—are buried in Green-Wood. Join Green-Wood Historic Fund tour guide Ruth Edebohls to visit and hear the histories of Horace Greeley, Henry J. Raymond, Boss Tweed, the Brooks Brothers, abolitionist Abigail Hopper Gibbons and others who rest here along with little-known victims of the riots. The film “Gangs of New York” included many of them as characters and also featured the era’s legendary gang leader William “Bill the Butcher” Poole. You’ll also enjoy the visual delights of Green-Wood, its trees and ponds and its sculpture and buildings by the leading artists and architects of their time. Walk may be hilly and strenuous—wear good walking shoes.
Ruth Edebohls worked for the Brooklyn Center for the Urban Environment as its Coordinator of Urban Tours and as a tour guide for 15 years. A Brooklyn native, she is a licensed New York City Tour Guide and urban historian with a special enthusiasm for Green-Wood Cemetery. Over the years, she has created and led many fascinating tours of Green-Wood.
Walking tour: $10 for members of The Green-Wood Historic Fund / $15 for non-members. Reservations strongly recommended.

(Rescheduled) 1 p.m. Late October Walking Tour

Saturday, October 29, 2011

Important Weather Alert:
Because of the miserable weather forecasted for this Saturday, we have rescheduled Saturday’s Late October Walking Tour to Sunday. With your Saturday tour ticket, please join us for either of two Sunday tours – no need to let us know which tour you’re coming on.
If you don’t have a ticket yet, Sunday tour tickets are still available at this link for both times:
– 1:00 p.m.
– 4:00 p.m. (the first ever twilight version of this tour — bring a flashlight!)
If you have a Saturday ticket already and cannot come Sunday, we offer two choices. Please let us know which option you prefer: you may request a refund, by email please, to contactus@green-wood.com, or you may contribute your tickets(s) to the Green-Wood Historic Fund as a tax-deductible donation.
Please note that if we do not hear back from you by Monday, November 7, 2011, we will consider your tickets a contribution. Thank you and we hope to see you this weekend!

We visit the graves of The Wizard of Oz, George Washington’s favorite dentist, the founders of Spiritualism, and many more. The tour also includes a visit to the Catacombs, which are usually closed to the public. This is a very, very popular tour, so please arrive early.

Green-Wood’s trolley tour guide Marge Raymond fell in love with Green-Wood Cemetery 25 years ago as a birdwatcher and naturalist. She brings to her tours her enthusiasm and passion for Green-Wood’s famous residents, its history, trees and animals. Marge, a professional singer, has been a volunteer since 2002 with The Green-Wood Historic Fund’s Civil War Project and has helped to staff The Historic Fund’s information and sales cart since its inception. She has been known to break into an occasional song during her tours.
