Mayhem, Murder, and Disaster
December 15, 2018, 11:00am–1:00pm
Serene, beautiful Green-Wood is the final resting place for victims who met of violent ends. Join veteran tour guide Ruth Edebohls to hear some of their fascinating, and mostly tragic, tales, including the sinking of the SS Morro Castle and possible murder of her captain; the Malbone Street Wreck, the deadliest accident in New York City subway history; Evelina Bliss, whose poisoning by arsenic-laden clam chowder sent shock waves through the Gilded Age; the mass grave to the victims of the Brooklyn Theatre fire, and many more.
$20 for members of Green-Wood and BHS / $25 for non-members
