Doomed Voyages Trolley Tour
2024-10-12 10:00 - 12:00 (America/New_York)
Traveling opens the door to new possibilities, where every step can lead to new adventures and discoveries or—for those less fortunate—tragedy and woe. Join us as we delve into the ill-fated voyages memorialized at Green-Wood, from the seas to the streets to the skies. You’ll learn about the devastating 1960 midair plane crash that changed Park Slope forever; the heart-wrenching tale of Robert “Little Dougie” Spedden who survived the sinking of the Titanic, only to have his life cut short soon after, and many more stories that serve as poignant reminders of the perils often faced by those who dare venture afar.

(SOLD OUT) Feminism and Fortune Telling: Women of the Lower East Side Trolley Tour
2024-10-26 10:00 - 12:00
Long before psychic infomercials and hotlines became all-the-rage, individuals seeking love advice or answers to life’s questions went to visit working-class fortune tellers in New York’s Lower East Side. In 1857, humor writer Mortimer Thomson (1831–1875), using the pseudonym Q. K. Philander Doesticks, published a series of exposes in which he labeled these women “witches,” leading to arrests and public intrigue.

Price: $30, and $25 for members

Trolley Tour(see details below)

On this trolley tour, we’ll delve into the complicated and peculiar life of Thomson who crusaded against these clairvoyants. We’ll also discuss the practice and influence of spiritualism and fortune telling on the lives of working women who desperately sought to make a living in that era and the surprising ways in which these women appeared in some of the most sensational stories of the time.

This tour will be led by Marie Carter, tour guide with Boroughs of the Dead and author of Mortimer and the Witches: A History of Nineteenth-Century Fortune Tellers.

Honoring World War I Hero Grace Banker
2024-10-26 14:30 - 16:00
While the contributions of women in World War I are often overlooked, they played pivotal roles on the front lines of communication. Join us to honor one of these remarkable women—Grace Banker (1892-1960), chief operator of the United States Army Signal Corps during the war. Grace commanded the “Hello Girls,” a group of bilingual women who decoded messages, operated switchboards, and translated vital communications for the American and French forces in battle. Stationed within artillery range, they were indispensable to the success of the Allied war effort.

Price: Free. No registration required.

In-Person Event(see details below)

We will walk to Grace’s grave, accompanied by musicians and an Armed Forces color guard, where brief remarks will be made by Green-Wood officials, veterans, and Grace’s granddaughter, who has fought for years to secure recognition for Grace and the “Hello Girls.” A bronze plaque and Army Veteran medallion will be unveiled in honor of Grace’s service.

This event is free and open to the public. The walk to the grave is approximately half a mile.

Important Information

For Your Safety: We strongly encourage attendees to wear suitable footwear. The procession route is about 1/2 a mile.

Where To Go: Meet at the Gothic Arch near the Main Entrance at Fifth Avenue and 25th Street (500 25th Street).
