Southern Exposure Walking Tour at Green-Wood This Saturday

If you haven't been out to see the changing leaves yet, the Green-Wood Historic Fund's Southern Exposure: More Tales of Green-Wood walking tour is a good opportunity to do so:

Participants will visit the less-seen southern edge of the cemetery, whose monuments and mausoleums have many fascinating stories to tell. Participants will hear the stories of the Park Slope Crash of 1960, “Truth Seeker” D.M. Bennett, a Russian prince, gangsters Joey Gallo and Albert Anastasia, lyricist Fred Ebb, an early Richard Upjohn mausoleum, several artists, the generation spanning Cutter family from a Civil War general to a 20th-century U.S. senator and more. A tourist attraction 150 years ago, Green-Wood still has the power to draw us and keep us coming back with its beauty, grandeur and history. Walk may be hilly and strenuous--wear good walking shoes. Tour will be led by Ruth Edebohls.
