Femme Fatales
July 13, 2019, 10:30am–12:30pm
Many distinguished and noteworthy New Yorkers found their permanent residences at Green-Wood—it was, and still is, the place to be buried. Among them, however, are also those whose reputations are not as admirable, including Fanny White, famed New York City courtesan and brothel manager; Emma Cunningham, who was tried for the murder of Harvey Burdell (who was strangled and stabbed fifteen times) amidst rumors of greed, lust, and depravity; and the Dublin-born Kitty Terry, who ran away to Liverpool at fifteen, where two high-end con men courted her and together formed a romantic triplet. Expert tour guide Ruth Edebohls will share tales of their alleged misdeeds and unscrupulous behavior.
$20 for members of Green-Wood and BHS / $25 for non-members
