Designated a National Historic Landmark in 2006, Green-Wood contains stunning natural beauty and landscape design, unique architectural styles and a museum that displays artwork, maps and other interesting objects that belonged to some of the people interred at Green-Wood. Today the cemetery offers a variety of tours, concerts and other programs that provide a cultural and historical experience for its’ visitors.

In this episode of Your History Your Story, we will be speaking with Green-Wood’s historian, Jeff Richman, author of “Brooklyn’s Green-Wood Cemetery - New York’s Buried Treasure”. Jeff will share fascinating stories about some of the cemetery’s most interesting, permanent “residents” and will also explain why a visit to Green-Wood is important not only to pay respect to the dead, but to enjoy Green-Wood’s peaceful, park-like setting and become immersed in its rich history.
