(Sold Out) 7:30 p.m. Silent Night – Classic Movies in a Gothic Setting
Gather in Green-Wood’s cozy historic chapel for a night of movies, music, and hot toddies.
In the age before sound, New York City was the center of the silent film biz. So it’s not surprising that several early movie stars are buried at Green-Wood. See short films from Green-Wood residents: westerns, comedies, even a feminist manifesto called “Petticoat Camp”! Plus professional accompanist Ben Model will play music for each film, just like the old days.
Don’t miss seeing these rare films with live music in a gorgeous silent-era chapel!

1 p.m. Charlie Tinker: Lincoln’s Telegrapher
1 p.m. Charlie Tinker: Lincoln’s Telegrapher
Learn the fascinating story of Charles Tinker – Civil War telegrapher and confidant for President Abraham Lincoln. Tinker, who has been interred at Green-Wood since 1917, has a fascinating story that had been lost to the annals of time until it was discovered by award-winning author (and Tinker descendant by marriage) Ronda Rich. She will lead you through her discoveries that culminated in a visit to the Tinker Family lot at Green-Wood.
In our Historic Chapel, Rich will delve into Tinker’s astounding past, using fascinating first-hand resources, like Tinker’s personal diaries, that have been handed down through the family. After the talk, board Green-Wood’s trolley with Green-Wood Historian Jeff Richman and Ronda Rich for a Civil War tour highlighted by a visit to the Tinker Family lot.
