Greenwood Cemetery Then & Now

  • 500 25th Street Brooklyn, NY, 11232 United States (map)

Green-Wood’s expansive rolling hills, glacial ponds, and thousands of trees were the perfect setting for pioneering photographers in the nineteenth century. Over the last twenty years, Green-Wood has collected hundreds of these photographs which provide an invaluable tool in piecing together the cemetery’s Victorian heritage. Join Green-Wood’s Historian Jeff Richman to compare and contrast the locations where the historic photographs were taken over a hundred years ago.

 

$20 for members of Green-Wood and BHS / $25 for non-members.
