A perennial favorite returns! Embrace the chill of the air as you wander through the stunning fall foliage of Green-Wood. Join the Cemetery’s historian, Jeff Richman, as he guides you on a walking tour filled with intriguing stories of murder, mystery, unearthly spirits, and captivating oddities. Visit the final resting places of notable figures like Frank Morgan, the wizard of The Wizard of Oz, and George Washington’s favorite dentist. Learn about the origins of Spiritualism through tales of its somewhat dubious founder. Don’t miss this opportunity to immerse yourself in a blend of history and folklore amid the picturesque beauty of autumn at Green-Wood!
