Author, historian and storyteller Ben Feldman has been in love with New York City history for as long as he can remember. Utilizing Green-Wood’s historical resources, he has discovered long-forgotten characters whose colorful stories he delights in telling.

Now comes the mysterious rags-to-riches story of Brooklyn industrialist Henry Knight Dyer whose pocket-size diary dated 1870, discovered by Feldman, was the irresistible catalyst for his latest investigation.
For anyone who’s mesmerized by personal histories and their little-known details, come learn how Feldman uncovers long-lost stories and how you can too.
This event has two parts, with separate tickets for each part:

A free talk by Ben Feldman in the historic Green-Wood chapel.

1 p.m. 'Clara and Mr. Tiffany' with Author Susan Vreeland Talk &Tour
2012-03-24 13:00 - 15:00 | The Historic Chapel at Green-Wood, 500 25th Street, Brooklyn, NY, 11232, United States
“Not just for art lovers; read it if you enjoy love, human drama, and American cultural history.” — Library Journal

The latest novel of bestselling author Susan Vreeland was inspired by the story of the real artist behind the iconic lamps of Green-Wood resident Louis Comfort Tiffany. Hundreds of personal letters brought to the attention of art historians in 2005 led to the electrifying discovery that it was a woman, Clara Driscoll, who invented and designed world-famous stained-glass lamps. Set against the Gilded Age world of formal balls and opera as well as the immigrant poverty of the Lower East Side, Vreeland’s novel imagines the life of the artistic and progressive Driscoll.
This event has two parts, with separate tickets for each part:

A free book talk by Susan Vreeland in the historic Green-Wood chapel, ending with a book signing (just released in paperback).

A trolley tour immediately following the talk, led by Green-Wood’s historian Jeff Richman, to the graves of the Tiffany family, plus many contemporary designers and leading figures of the day. Tickets are $15 for members of the Green-Wood Historic Fund and $20 for non-members.

Seating is limited for both the talk and the trolley tour, and reservations are recommended.
