Description

Celebrate this important holiday marking the end of slavery by delving deep into Black history at Green-Wood!

Participate in free kids’ art activities in our Historic Chapel and take a self-guided tour of the gravesites of fascinating Black historical figures. Maps and biographies of featured burial sites will be available when you enter the Cemetery, and our trolley will run on a loop to all sites so folks can hop on and off as they please. If you’ve attended in previous years—come again! This year we’ll be highlighting several new historical figures.

For this event, please enter the Cemetery through the Main Entrance at 500 25th Street and make your way to our Historic Chapel. Craft activities and tour materials can be found there.

Registration is recommended, but not required. Please consider a donation to the Green-Wood Historic Fund so that we can continue to offer free and low-cost programs throughout the year.
