In-Person Walking Tour

Green-Wood Cemetery
Established in 1838 and designated a National Historic Landmark in 2006, Green-Wood Cemetery holds a distinguished place on the National Register of Historic Places, commemorating its architectural and historical importance. Spread across 478 acres and home to 600,000 graves and 7,000 trees, Green-Wood Cemetery stands as a testament to Brooklyn’s early history and development. The grand main gate, crafted in the Gothic style by Richard Upjohn, welcomes visitors into this verdant oasis full of sprawling hills and sweeping views of the Manhattan skyline. Green-Wood boasts tombs adorned with ornate sculptural decorations. Its picturesque landscaping, inspired by landscape designer Alexander Jackson Downing and envisioned by David Bates Douglass, reflects a quintessential example of 19th-century rural cemetery design. Join our knowledgeable Green-Wood guide as we take a 90-minute walk through the cemetery, offering insights into its history, architectural marvels, scenic landscapes, and the fascinating people who rest beneath its tranquil grounds.
