The Morro Castle disaster and possible murder of her captain, the sinking of the steamship Arctic, the Malbone Street train crash, a suicide on the grave of a beloved wife, the arsenic and clam chowder murder, Titanic survivors and the Brooklyn Theatre fire are just some of the tragic tales you’ll hear amidst a landscape of late fall beauty.

6:30 p.m. Bushwick is Burning
2014-11-17 18:30 - 20:00 | Brooklyn Historical Society, 128 Pierrepont Street, Brooklyn, NY, 11201, United States
Last Wall, June 1982, by Meryl Meisler

Jonathan Mahler, NY Times media reporter and author of the critically acclaimed Ladies and Gentlemen, the Bronx is Burning, moderates this panel exploring Bushwick’s 1970s nadir. Photographer Meryl Meisler, a tenant lawyer, FDNY fire marshal, Community Board manager, and displaced resident – will discuss their experiences on the frontlines of urban neglect.
This event appears as part of Brooklyn’s On Fire!: a partner series with Green-Wood and Brooklyn Historical Society dedicated to one of history’s hottest subjects – fire and firefighting. Brooklyn’s history of conflagrations is dynamic, transformative, and plenty surprising. In four parts, we’ll rove the borough to examine the heroes, the history, and even the chefs.
Tickets are free for BHS and Green-Wood members and $5 for non-members. To reserve tickets, click here.
This event takes place at the Brooklyn Historical Society.

1 p.m. After the Fire Talk and Tour
2014-11-22 13:00 - 15:00 | Green-Wood Cemetery, 500 25th Street, Brooklyn, NY, 11232, United States
Many people know the story of the Brooklyn Theater Fire – a conflagration that ripped through a packed theater in 1876 and left many hundreds dead in its wake. The loss of life was so great that a mass grave was donated in Green-Wood, and a monument erected at the site to commemorate the tragedy. The fire was national news and clearly shocked the boroughs, but what happened in Brooklyn after the fire? Tragedies like this inevitably affect the life, culture and policies of a city. At this talk and tour in Green-Wood’s historic chapel, historian Joshua Britton will examine tragedies like the Brooklyn Theater Fire and how their influence shaped the growing metropolis of Brooklyn. After the talk, a trolley tour will visit related sites in Green-Wood.

7:30 p.m. Members Only: Silent Night - Classic Movies in a Gothic Setting
2014-12-12 19:30 - 22:30 | Green-Wood Cemetery, 500 25th Street, Brooklyn, NY, 11232, United States
Credit: Steven Acres

Gather in Green-Wood’s cozy historic chapel for a night of “cemetery silents”, music, and hot drinks. Throughout the silent film era, filmmakers and comedians used people’s unease of spirits and cemeteries to create gag sequences and plot twists.
Our program of short films made between 1914 and 1928 follows the exploits of Bert Williams, Shep the Thanhouser dog, the Hal Roach All-Stars, and Laurel & Hardy as they tip-toe through the silver-screen tombstones. And Ben Model, one of the nation’s leading film accompanists, will introduce the films and score each one live on the piano.
Green-Wood is proud to offer this winter event exclusively to our generous and supportive members. Join us to see these cemetery-themed films with live music in a gorgeous silent-era chapel!
Refreshments will be available for purchase. Tickets are $25 for members of Green-Wood. To get tickets, please enter your member ID where noted in the ticket box below.

1 p.m. Black History at Green-Wood
2015-02-28 13:00 - 15:00
In honor of Black History Month, Green-Wood presents a special trolley tour with Historian Jeff Richman. Though segregation has certainly been an issue in the city, Brooklyn and New York City also have long histories of diversity and civil rights activism. This trolley tour will examine the life and accomplishments of many prominent black New Yorkers, as well as several abolitionists also working for freedom in America.
Stops will include Susan Smith McKinney Steward, the first black female doctor in the state; Jean-Michel Basquiat, innovative artist of the 1970s and ’80s; Jeremiah Hamilton, New York’s first black millionaire; civil war heroes and survivors; freed slaves working as abolitionists, and more. Their stories illustrate the long struggle towards equality and the deep impact black New Yorkers have been making on New York City culture since its inception.

For the first time, we’re opening Green-Wood’s gates afterhours for an exclusive workshop in night photography. Gabriel Biderman, author of Night Photography: From Snapshots to Great Shots, and visual artist and educator Matt Hill will lead you in this hands-on workshop dedicated to capturing the essence of Green-Wood art and architecture at night. Long exposures and light painting will be the focus (so a tripod, cable release, and SLR camera are mandatory). A comfort shooting in manual and bulb mode is also recommended.

Gabe and Matt teach workshops in historic New York locations like Woodlawn Cemetery and Bannerman Island, and pride themselves on their personal approach with students. There will be ample lecture, shooting, and touring time, so you will emerge with a better understanding of both night photography and the Green-Wood landscape. Attend this two-night workshop for either one or both days. If you take both nights, you can get feedback on your work at the Sunday night critique session.

Two nights: $270 for members of Green-Wood and BHS/$300 for nonmembers
(Two-night tickets are sold out)
One night: $135 for members of Green-Wood and BHS/$150 for nonmembers

Grand Procession Commemorating the End of the Civil War
2015-05-23 18:00 - 2015-05-24 00:00 | Green-Wood Cemetery, 500 25th Street, Brooklyn, NY, 11232, United States
Credit: Primo Iglesias

This spring marks the 150th anniversary of the end of the Civil War. And Green-Wood is proud to be the final resting place of over 5,000 Civil War veterans and other contributors to the war effort. For one night, Green-Wood will be transformed into a Civil War-era commemoration and festival, with the Grand Procession as the main event – a spectacular walk across Green-Wood’s grounds, aglow with 5,000 honorary candles, and featuring a brass band, artillery fire, a chorus, cavalry horses, and re-enactors in uniform.
The evening begins at 6:00 p.m. with Civil War music, period games, cooking demonstrations, and re-enactors in Green-Wood’s meadow. Then, beginning at 8:30 p.m. after the sun has set, join a procession past 5,000 candles, led by cavalry horses, musicians, uniformed re-enactors, and a Civil War artillery troop firing salute. After the procession has ended, seize this unique opportunity to stroll Green-Wood’s grounds until midnight, taking in the luminaries and commemorating the thousands of lives affected by this dramatic turning point in American history. Admission to Green-Wood’s new exhibition on the Civil War, To Bid You All Good Bye: Civil War Stories, will be free to all ticket holders throughout the night.
The Grand Procession covers about one mile. Walk may be hilly and strenuous. Appropriate clothing and shoes are recommended.
Also featured for one night only in Green-Wood’s Civil War-era Catacombs: a special artistic interpretation of the statistics, numbers, and information on the 5,000 Civil War contributors interred in Green-Wood. Project organizer and artist Michele Gorman has led a team of graduate students from New York University’s Interactive Telecommunications Program (ITP) to create visual representations of these veteran-related facts and figures. Presented in Green-Wood’s atmospheric catacombs, the artwork shows how the stories of an overwhelmingly large number of veterans can be considered together to create a new way to think about the casualties of war. The moving presentation, entitled This is My House of Green Grass: The Raw Retrieval of the Civil War, will be free to all ticket holders throughout the night.
$20 for members of Green-Wood and BHS/$25 for nonmembers.
