Rest in Pace: Winter Solstice

As the shortest day of the year transitions to its longest night, join Green-Wood’s leisurely walking group, Rest in Pace. Together, we’ll meander through the Cemetery’s scenic paths at a comfortable pace, taking in beautiful views, discovering fascinating stories, and connecting with fellow walkers along the way. It’s more than exercise, it’s a chance to share your own stories, make new friends, and mark the turning of the seasons one of Brooklyn’s most extraordinary settings.
