Common Shade: A Discussion with Anna Sale of WNYC's Death, Sex, and Money
2016-03-28 18:30 - 20:30 | Green-Wood Cemetery, 500 25th Street, Brooklyn, NY, 11232, United States
Credit: Steven Acres

On her podcast Death, Sex & Money, Anna Sale talks with writers, actors, adventurers – and everyday people – about some intensely personal topics. She gets her guests to open up about things that we tend to worry about often but openly discuss much less frequently – including death. For this year’s first installment of Common Shade, we’ll welcome Anna to Green-Wood’s Historic Chapel and get her to do the talking. Common Shade host Evan Michelson will sit down with Anna to discuss her podcast, the allure of those tough topics, and her own experiences with life’s (and death’s) inevitabilities. Questions and discussion from the audience will follow.

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.

$20 for members of Green-Wood, Morbid Anatomy Museum and BHS/$25 for non-members. Drinks will be available for purchase during the event (free for Key Holder members with proof of membership).

From the Bowery Boys and the Five Points Gang in the 19th century, to the rise of the Jewish “Kosher Nostra” and the ascendance of the Italian Mafia, mobsters have played a major role in the city’s history, lurking just around the corner or inside that nondescript building. A cadre of powerful and often dangerous men once held sway over myriad New York neighborhood – their home turf – and some of those men now rest in Green-Wood.

Join author Anthony M. DeStefano as he traces organized criminal activity in the five boroughs from the 19th century to today. DeStefano will illuminate not only the exploits of New York gangsters, but also the real-life, New York locations of some of the deadliest and most significant mob action.

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.

Food of the Dead: A Culinary History of the Funeral
2016-05-05 18:30 - 20:30
Credit: Maria Taylor, Governor Warner Mansion

At the end of an early American funeral, participants were given a cookie: spiced with caraway, and stamped with a special design, they were often kept for years as a memento of the departed. Although mourning traditions have changed over time, and vary from place to place, what they have in common is food and drink.

Join historic gastronomist Sarah Lohman for this talk on the culinary traditions surrounding funerals throughout American history. You’ll learn about funerary customs through the years, plus taste beer from Midas’s tomb, funeral cakes, and Mormon funeral potatoes.

$20 for members of Green-Wood and BHS/$25 for non-members. Cash bar available at the event (free for Key Holder members).

Honoring "Too Late" Davis: An Unveiling and Trolley Tour
2016-05-14 10:00 - 12:00
James Whyte Davis, an early baseball pioneer who served as the president of the Knickerbocker Base Ball Club of New York City from 1858 to 1860, had a plan to get himself the Green-Wood monument he felt his legacy deserved. In 1892, long after he had played his last game, Davis announced a request: that every current player and official of the National League give 10 cents to pay for a home plate-shaped monument. It would be a true group effort by the world of baseball to memorialize one of its heroes. Davis would be dressed in his old Knickerbocker uniform, and wrapped in the team’s original flag. He even wrote a glowing epitaph that would grace this crowdfunded monument.
But by the 1890s, the sport had moved on without Davis; most players didn’t even know who he was. So this baseball trailblazer was buried in his uniform and team flag, but no monument marked his grave. That all changes on May 14th, thanks to the Society for American Baseball Research (SABR) and Major League Baseball. At 10:00am, we’ll unveil a new monument built to Davis’ specifications – including that epitaph he wrote in which he references his old nickname “Too Late,” apparently earned because he was often tardy to his own games. Celebrate Davis recognition at the free unveiling, then join Green-Wood Historian Jeff Richman and baseball expert, historian, and author Tom Gilbert for a trolley tour of early baseball pioneers at Green-Wood – many of whom knew and played with the man of the hour.
This event has two parts, with separate tickets for each part:

The free unveiling of the monument.
A guided trolley tour immediately following the talk, $15 for members of Green-Wood and BHS / $20 for nonmembers.

Green-Wood trolley tours are fully accessible and ADA compliant. In order to accommodate a wheelchair or other mobility device on the trolley, advance arrangements must be made.
