About this Event

The Victorians were masters of secrets, and they took plenty of them to the grave! Across Green-Wood’s landscape, every carved flower, weathered angel, and mysterious emblem tells a story. On this crowd favorite walking tour, you’ll become a detective of the dead, decoding an elaborate language of symbols preserved in stone and shedding light on tales etched into eternity.
