The Green-Wood Cemetery

Love and death have always inspired artists, writers, and philosophers. But do you know where they are perfectly intertwined? At a cemetery!

Love and death. They have inspired artists, writers, and philosophers for millennia. But do you know where they are perfectly intertwined? At a cemetery!Forget the box of chocolates and sappy card—treat the special someone in your life to an exploration of Green-Wood. Along the way you will hear tales of the lovesick and the heartbroken, as well as tawdry details of dramatic—and doomed—affairs. On this walking tour, you’ll learn about star-crossed Victorian lovers Charlotte Canda and Charles Jarrett; Henry Ward Beecher’s scandalous affair with Elizabeth Tilton; the tragic death of Theodore Roosevelt’s wife on Valentine’s Day; and more.Please note that if only 1 ticket shows as available during the purchase process that is the last ticket available.Before Purchasing Your Ticket, Please Note:<ul><li>Attendees must follow ALL instructions and guidance from Cemetery staff and ambassadors.</li><li>Tickets: There is no need to print tickets!
