Program changes and more

Dear Mr. Dorosh,  At Green-Wood we are dedicated to serving the needs of the families who have entrusted the care of their loved ones to us, as well the greater New York community. First and foremost on our minds is the health and safety of our neighbors and friends. During this uncertain time, nothing is more important than all of us doing what we can to help slow the spread of coronavirus. Out of an abundance of caution, Green-Wood has decided to cancel our public programs through April 15, 2020—with one exception. We will be replacing our regularly scheduled trolley tours with FREE guided walking tours—limited to a maximum of 25 people—on Wednesdays and Saturdays from 1:00 to 2:30pm. Cemetery operations and offices will continue business as usual, and we have increased our custodial services and sanitary precautions. For almost two centuries, Green-Wood has been a peaceful oasis—a calm in the urban storm. As always, and particularly at this difficult time, we welcome one and all to find peace and solace in our historic landscape.  We are open to the public every day from 8am to 7pm. I'll close with a quote from our very first historian, Nehemiah Cleaveland who wrote in 1847, "to the weary and worn citizen, Green-Wood may well seem the very ideal of solitude─ a charming picture of repose . . . farther and farther away from strife." Stay safe and healthy.   Richard J. Moylan President If you use Amazon for shopping, Amazon Smile will donate 0.05% of the cost of each purchase you make to the Green-Wood Historic Fund.
