In the era of Madoff and Ponzi, America has all but forgotten about the original king of the swindle, Ferdinand Ward. Join Geoffrey Ward, acclaimed historian and great-grandson of Ferdinand, to delve into the sordid details of this sweet-talking con man. 
As part of the 2012 openhousenewyork weekend, Green-Wood will open many of its most famous and elaborate mausoleums for public perusal. Guides and actors in period costume will offer a glimpse into the lives of the people who now rest in these opulent structures. 
Join us as we restore grandeur to the grave of Louis Moreau Gottschalk, America's first internationally recognized composer and virtuoso pianist. A new sculpture will be unveiled, with performances of his compositions, talks by scholars, and a reception. 
Experience the most magnificent and historic 478 acres in New York City. Join our expert tour guide to hear fascinating stories of Green-Wood’s permanent residents, see breathtaking views of Manhattan, tread where George Washington and his troops fought the Battle of Brooklyn, and much more. 
In the most atmospheric of venues, TrivWorks, NYC's premier trivia entertainment company, will test your pop culture knowledge with trivia related to the spookier side of life, plus topics on New York City and Green-Wood's permanent residents! Before trivia, enjoy eerie landscapes and ages of New York history on an exclusive moonlight tour. 
Don't forget your flashlight for this nocturnal tour led by Green-Wood historian Jeff Richman. Watch the moon rise, illuminating Green-Wood's winding paths and lighting the way to sculptures, tombstones and mausoleums. Visit some of Green-Wood's many illustrious permanent residents and end with a stroll inside the Catacombs, usually closed to the public. Live accordion music accompanies this unique experience of Green-Wood at night. 
Green-Wood’s public programs are made possible by the New York State Council on the Arts with the support of the Office of the Governor and the New York State Legislature, as well as the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs.
