Secrets in Stone

There is a secret language at Green-Wood that is etched in its centuries-old monuments. Everywhere you turn—inverted torches, bales of wheat, hourglasses with wings, flora and fauna of all types. This eye-opening walking tour will showcase these curious depictions and let you in on the secret meanings of these eternal, though often cryptic, symbols.

Location: Check-in takes place in the meadow at the Main Entrance at Fifth Avenue and 25th Street.
