​​When Green-Wood was just a pioneering dream in 1838, no one could have imagined what it would become today: one of New York City’s leading and most beloved cultural institutions.

Join us virtually, on the 185th anniversary of the Cemetery’s founding for a lively discussion with Green-Wood Historian Jeff Richman. Discover how, despite humble beginnings and bleak financial prospects, Green-Wood rose to become the final resting place for New Yorkers and so much more! What better way to celebrate Green-Wood’s birthday?

Price: $9, and $4 for members.
