Neighbor Andy emails over a reminder of the events at Green-Wood Cemetery tomorrow, and this picture he took last year:
On Monday morning at 11 a.m. the cemetery will hold a March of Honor to thNe Civil War Soldiers’ Lot, where 127 Union veterans are interred. Ceremonies at the Soldiers’ Lot will include a reading of the names of some of the veterans, artillery and rifle salutes and musical tributes.
On Monday afternoon at 3 p.m. the cemetery will host its 13th-annual free Memorial Day concert, featuring the ISO Symphonic Band. Included will be melodies of the Civil War in addition to works by some of Green-Wood’s permanent residents — Fred Ebb, Louis Moreau Gottschalk, Leonard Bernstein and many others.

Rounding out these events will be a Civil War exhibition featuring fascinating memorabilia such as two authentic Civil War cannons, life-sized zinc sculptures of Union soldiers and genuine Civil War uniforms. Admission to the exhibit is free. It will be open 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. on weekends and noon to 4 p.m. on weekdays from May 28 through June 12.
