(Sold Out) A Night at Niblo’s Garden

This popular event is back for 2015 and better than ever! Imagine an outdoor pleasure dome, strung with lights, adorned with fountains and featuring the top musicians, dancers and entertainers of the time. That was the scene at Niblo’s Garden – the premier entertainment house of the 19th century. Niblo himself had a habit of turning his Green-Wood mausoleum – built years before his death – into a pleasure garden of its own, with friends, picnics and entertainment. Rumor has it he even stocked the nearby Crescent Water with goldfish!

This year we’ve teamed up with Bindlestiff Family Circus, a vaudeville and performing arts powerhouse since 1995. Bindlestiff will transform Niblo’s final resting place into a Victorian extravaganza of performing arts. Your night will begin with a picnic (bring your own) around the beautiful pond Crescent Water, and will unfold into an evening of showmanship in front of Niblo’s grand mausoleum. As always, author and Niblo expert Ben Feldman will hold court as Niblo himself. Bring a blanket, snacks, and drinks, and prepare to be dazzled by 19th-century games, fire eaters, contortionists, and much more – all lit by candles and a starry sky.

$32 for members of Green-Wood and BHS/$37 for non-members.

Join NY Writers Coalition in Green-Wood’s Historic Chapel, for City Spirit, City Stories, a community reading and open mic in celebration of the talented storytellers hiding in plain sight of this big city!
In workshops facilitated by Rachel Plutzer and Julia Hillman Craig, playwrights, poets, essayists, and artists of other forms gather together within the cemetery’s beautiful grounds and historic interiors. For the past eight weeks, they’ve found inspiration and enlightenment from stories of the past to fuel their own art, and we’re excited to have them share these new discoveries — and new writing! – with us this summer.
We’ll see you in the Chapel for a special evening of art, poetry, and prose — and bring a story or poem to share if you’d like. Light refreshments provided by NYWC & Green-Wood.
Suggested Donation: $7. All proceeds support the Green-Wood Historic Fund and New York Writers Coalition’s free creative writing workshops in New York City.

Common Shade: Catherine Gallant on Isadora Duncan's Dances of Mourning
2015-07-29 19:30 - 21:30 | Green-Wood Cemetery, 500 25th Street, Brooklyn, NY, 11232, United States
Credit: Steven Acres

In the early 20th century, Isadora Duncan’s innovative dances changed the art world forever. But it was the sudden death of her children that most influenced her life and work. After losing her two young children to drowning, Duncan poured her grief into dance. She created her Grande Marche and other dances expressing grief, mortality, and mourning, as well as remembrance and rebirth. Catherine Gallant is a student of Duncan, and regularly performs these dances. She’ll perform these emotional dances to live music, before discussing Duncan’s process, her relationship to her children’s death, and how Gallant connects to Duncan and her artistic outpouring of grief.

Morbid Anatomy Museum and Green-Wood present Common Shade – a dialogue existing on the borderlands between the living and the dead. Hosted in Green-Wood’s intimate Historic Chapel, Common Shade will cultivate a social space for death – a place to examine death’s prevalence in our lives, and its shifting place in history, art, culture, and society. Drawing from Green-Wood’s bucolic setting and using history as our anchor, each night’s presentations will include dialogue and interviews with guests. Together with artists, practitioners, scholars, and peers, Common Shade discussions will explore our humble acknowledgments of and engagements with death.

$25 for non-members / $20 for members of Green-Wood, BHS and the Morbid Anatomy Museum. Cash bar (free for Green-Wood Key Holders) available at each event.

Common Shade: Dr. Seth A. Gopin on the Rural Cemetery in Paris and Beyond
2015-08-11 19:30 - 21:30 | Green-Wood Cemetery, 500 25th Street, Brooklyn, NY, 11232, United States

Beginning in the Middle Ages, the dead lay among the living in Paris city centers. Over time, Parisian graveyards, like all inner city burial places, ran out of room. The creation of Père Lachaise Cemetery was the culmination of a struggle to reform burial practices, and this radical idea of a “cemetery” became the basis for all the burial traditions in the west, including Brooklyn’s own Green-Wood. Dr. Gopin’s lecture will trace the tradition of mass burial in Parisian church graveyards to the modern idea of the world’s first cemetery, Père Lachaise, in 1804. Dr. Gopin will discuss how this shift influenced our attitudes toward death, and how his background affects his own feelings and relationship with the topic.

Bergen, Schermerhorn, Martense, Havemeyer, Berry, Tompkins…to New Yorkers, these are household names. They grace our roads, our subway stations, and our parks. So how did these names come to be NYC fixtures? In most cases, these ubiquitous names are all attached to influential and powerful city dwellers of the 19th-century. They also all happen to be buried at Green-Wood.

Join expert tour guide Ruth Edebohls on this tour to the final resting places of the people who bear the names we know so well. You’ll learn about their lives, their businesses, and how they become powerful enough to have a street named after them.

Pencil Passion
2015-09-13 13:00 - 15:00 | Green-Wood Cemetery, 500 25th Street, Brooklyn, NY, 11232, United States
Ring 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.

This event has two parts, with separate tickets for each part:

The free talk in the historic Green-Wood chapel.
A 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.

Please 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.

Playing First: Early Baseball Lives at Green-Wood
2015-09-26 13:00 - 15:00 | Green-Wood Cemetery, 500 25th Street, Brooklyn, NY, 11232, United States
Join 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.

This event has two parts, with separate tickets for each part:

The free talk in the historic Green-Wood chapel.
A 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.

Please 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.

Media Movers & Shakers, Then & Now
2015-10-03 16:00 - 18:00 | Green-Wood Cemetery, 500 25th Street, Brooklyn, NY, 11232, United States
Explore the frenzied world of New York City news and media. This panel, featuring Untapped Cities founder Michelle Young, journalist and urban planner Julia Vitullo-Martin, and Brokelyn News Editor David Colon, will trace the early boom days of New York City newspapers to the current upheaval in media. In the 19th century, the pioneers of news and publishing loomed large in New York society, and they made their impact on the landscape, too, by building massive and imposing headquarters downtown. Many of these early players are now buried together at Green-Wood, including Horace Greeley, founder of the New York Tribune; James Harper, founder of Harper & Brothers; and Henry Raymond, founder of the New York Times. But the media world doesn’t stand still for long, and our panelists will detail the seismic shifts the industry has endured in the 20th and 21st centuries. Media has moved from downtown flagships, to uptown rented space, to bloggers working from their living rooms. Where will it go next? Young, Vitullo-Martin, and Colon will take a stab at answering that question. Following the talk, a trolley tour will visit the monuments of the great newspaper men of the 19th century.

This event has two parts, with separate tickets for each part:

The free talk in Green-Wood’s modern chapel (directly to the right of the gothic arches at the 25th Street and 5th Avenue).
A 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.

Please 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.

"La Santa Muerte (Saint Death)": Documentary Screening and Moderated Discussion with Director Eva Aridjis
2015-10-13 19:30 - 21:30 | Green-Wood Cemetery, 500 25th Street, Brooklyn, NY, 11232, United States
In Mexico there is a rapidly growing cult – that of Saint Death. This female grim reaper, considered a saint by followers but Satanic by the Catholic Church, is worshipped by people whose lives are filled with danger and/or violence- criminals, gang members, transvestites, the sick, drug addicts, and families living in rough neighborhoods. “La Santa Muerte” examines the origins of the cult and takes us on a tour of the altars, jails, and neighborhoods in Mexico where the saint’s most devoted followers can be found. Gather in Green-Wood’s Historic Chapel for a screening of the film followed by discussion with the film’s director, Eva Aridjis and Common Shade’s host Evan Michelson. Eva Aridjis is a Mexican filmmaker who has produced and directed several award-winning feature films, including the documentaries “Niños de la Calle” (Children of the Street), “La Santa Muerte” (Saint Death) and “Chuy, El hombre lobo” (Chuy, The Wolf Man) and the narrative films “The Favor” and “Los Ojos Azules” (The Blue Eyes).

Morbid Anatomy Museum and Green-Wood present Common Shade – a dialogue existing on the borderlands between the living and the dead. Hosted in Green-Wood’s intimate Historic Chapel, Common Shade will cultivate a social space for death – a place to examine death’s prevalence in our lives, and its shifting place in history, art, culture, and society. Drawing from Green-Wood’s bucolic setting and using history as our anchor, each night’s presentations will include dialogue and interviews with guests. Together with artists, practitioners, scholars, and peers, Common Shade discussions will explore our humble acknowledgments of and engagements with death.

$25 for non-members / $20 for members of Green-Wood, BHS and the Morbid Anatomy Museum. Cash bar (free for Green-Wood Key Holders) available at each event.

Stargaze at Green-Wood
2015-10-15 19:00 - 20:00

See the universe from Brooklyn at this free “pop-up” stargazing event! From 7:00pm to 8:00pm, members of the Amateur Astronomers Association of New York will set up high-powered telescopes at Green-Wood’s main entrance.

Stop by to peer into their telescopes and see Saturn and double stars – the view of the sky is incomparable from Green-Wood’s vast landscape!

What Was The Gilded Age? (And Are We Living in A Second One?)
2015-10-17 13:00 - 15:00 | Green-Wood Cemetery, 500 25th Street, Brooklyn, NY, 11232, United States
Historian, author, and professor Edward T. O’Donnell speaks about his new book on the influential reformer Henry George and the tumultuous period in America known as the Gilded Age (1870-1900). As financial fortunes were soaring ever-higher for a small portion of society, Henry George emerged in the 1880s as a prominent reformer warning against the threats of increasing wealth disparity, inequality, and corporate influence in politics. He played a key role in popularizing some of the foundational ideas of progressivism that shaped U.S. social and economic policy in the 20th century. Today, George’s philosophy is more relevant than ever as America confronts similar questions about poverty, inequality, and corporate power in what some have called a Second Gilded Age. After O’Donnell’s enlightening discussion, take a trolley ride through Green-Wood to visit the monuments of Henry George and other influential reformers.

This event has two parts, with separate tickets for each part:

The free talk in the historic Green-Wood chapel.
A 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.

Please 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.
