5 p.m. A Centennial Performance of Isadora Duncan’s Grande Marche
2014-05-31 17:00 - 18:00
Credit: Catherine Gallant

After becoming one of the most innovative and exciting figures of 20th-century dance, Isadora Duncan endured the tragic accidental deaths of her two young children. The experience filled her subsequent choreographic works with mournful yearning, spiritual redemption and powerful images of rebirth. Now we present those dances amidst the serene landscape of Green-Wood.
Dancer and choreographer Catherine Gallant has, for over thirty years, choreographed her own dances and worked to preserve and enliven the dances of Isadora Duncan. She and her company, Catherine Gallant/DANCE, will perform Duncan’s “Grande Marche” (1914) set to the music of Schubert, plus other late-period Duncan dances born of her sorrow. The company will then turn to works of hope and rebirth, set to a Nocturne and Polonaise of Chopin, followed by Duncan’s dances of exuberance and light to celebrate the rising of the sun.

Scores of prominent New Yorkers are buried in Green-Wood, and their final resting places are no less opulent than their residences were during their lives. And many times, the same architects who were designing impressive homes in New York City were also turning to Green-Wood to build within these 478 acres.
Join expert tour guide Ruth Edebohls for a look at the fabulous architectural designs hidden within Green-Wood’s rolling hills. You’ll visit structures by Ernest Flagg, Richard Upjohn and Son, Stanford White and more.

This event is sold out. Please click here to return to our full events calendar.
Join architectural historian and expert tour guide Francis Morrone as he leads a special architecturally themed walking tour of Green-Wood. The cemetery’s 478 acres boasts not simply a stunning landscape, but also world-class art and architecture. And with such a vast array of good design, it’s no surprise that many famed architects also chose Green-Wood as their final resting place.
In addition to discussing some of Green-Wood’s notable structures, such as the main gothic arches by Richard M. Upjohn and the chapel by Warren & Wetmore (the architects behind Grand Central), Morrone will point out the sites of the many prominent architects who are buried at Green-Wood – like James Renwick Jr., cast-iron king James Bogardus, Central Park contributor Jacob Wrey Mould and more. You will learn of their fascinating lives, fruitful careers, and influence in the architecture arena.
Morrone was named, by Travel + Leisure magazine, one of the 13 best tour guides in the world and this is a one-of-a-kind opportunity to see the only tour Morrone has ever led in Green-Wood.

2 p.m. Honoring Fearless Flo
2014-04-27 14:00 - 16:00

We celebrate the life and career of Florence LaBadie, a young silent film sensation in the early 20th-century. Appearing in over 180 films over the course of her short life, LaBadie was a stunningly beautiful actress who enjoyed tremendous fame in her day. A tragic car accident in 1917 cut her life short at the age of 29, and she was buried at Green-Wood shortly thereafter. Mysteriously, neither a gravestone nor a monument was ever placed at her burial site and her resting place has remained unmarked for nearly a century. Now, with the help of Green-Wood, Ned Thanhouser and Thanhouser Company Film Preservation, loyal LaBadie fans and film historians, “Fearless Flo” will finally receive a proper grave marker. Join us on LaBadie’s birthday for a dedication ceremony at her final resting place, featuring remarks on Flo’s life and the silent film era, and live music by professional accompanist Ben Model. A reception will follow in Green-Wood’s Historic Chapel.

1 p.m. Designing Green-Wood: New York’s First Rural Greenspace
2014-04-19 13:00 - 15:00
Green-Wood owes much of its splendor to the genius of its original designer – landscape architect David Bates Douglass. The twists and turns of Green-Wood’s 40 miles of pathways purposefully create visual surprises around each bend. In 1838, Douglass eschewed the long vistas of unobstructed open space, in favor of rolling hills and meandering, serpentine walkways.
Join Superintendent of Grounds, Art Presson, in Green-Wood’s Historic Chapel for a talk on David Bates Douglass’s intent and original design. Then board the trolley for a tour of what’s changed, what’s stayed the same, and how the Green-Wood landscape has evolved over 175 years.
This event has two parts, with separate tickets for each part:
1. The free talk in the historic Green-Wood chapel.
2. A guided trolley tour immediately following the talk. Tickets are $15 for members of the Green-Wood Historic Fund and $20 for nonmembers. This portion of the event is sold out.
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.

1 p.m. Restoring Glory to Creighton
2014-04-15 13:00 - 15:00
James Creighton was baseball’s first megastar. Revolutionizing the pitcher’s role and changing the game forever, his shocking death at the age of 21 made him baseball’s first martyr. Buried at Green-Wood in 1862, Creighton’s grave quickly took its place in the pantheon of baseball meccas – his obelisk, topped with an iconic lemon-peel baseball (in marble), became a place of pilgrimage. However, that charming marble baseball disappeared long ago. Now, thanks to the work of Green-Wood historian Jeff Richman, baseball historian Tom Gilbert and an impressive lineup of loyal baseball fans, the marble top is back. Join us on our trolley as we drive out to Jim Creighton’s final resting place–with a guided tour by Richman and Gilbert of baseball sites along the way–for a celebration of this 19th-century phenom and the rededication of his monument.
This is a free event, but please register your group using the Eventbrite box below so that we can gauge response. We encourage you to consider making an optional donation with your reservation, to ensure our ability to continue to offer these events free of charge.

1 p.m. Bannerman Castle: The Medieval Ruins of Hudson Valley
2014-04-12 13:00 - 15:00
Credit: Thom Johnson
For generations, boat and train passengers have been mystified by the sight of castle-like structures looming on an island in the Hudson River. Join Wes and Barbara Gottlock, authors of a book on the subject and tour guides of the island, as they detail the history of this remarkable site, dating back to 1900 when the land was purchased by Brooklyn resident Francis Bannerman (now buried at Green-Wood) for the storage of military goods which he sold through a world famous Civil War-era catalog. With extensive research and stunning photographs, the Gottlocks will cover the island’s rise as a glorious landmark and its eventual decline – plus the recent calls for preservation and restoration. Buy a book and have it signed, then board the trolley for a short Green-Wood tour, including a stop at the Bannerman family plot.
This event has two parts, with separate tickets for each part:
1. The free talk in the historic Green-Wood chapel.
2. A guided trolley tour immediately following the talk. Tickets are $15 for members of the Green-Wood Historic Fund and $20 for nonmembers.

(Sold Out) 1 p.m. Black History at Green-Wood
2014-02-22 13:00 - 15:00
This event is sold out. Please click here for our full events calendar.
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 Stewart, 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; 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.
$15 for members of the Historic Fund/$20 for nonmembers.
