(SOLD OUT) Crime and Catastrophe Trolley Tour
October 29, 2022 , 10:00am – 12:00pm
Murders, shipwrecks, plane crashes, gangsters: Do we have your attention yet? This nail-biting trolley tour delves deep into some of the finest true crime and disaster stories that Green-Wood has to offer. You will learn about the mysterious death of famed “Mentalist” Washington Irving Bishop (who was allegedly killed by autopsy), visit the lakeside mausoleum of the Prohibition-era gangsters from the Agoglia family, hear the salacious tale of the Hall-Mills Murders, and much more.
Price: $30, and $25 for members
(see details below)
You’ll hear of those who sacrificed so much, including Lieutenant Henry Sand, who wrote to his mother as he lay wounded, telling her that he would accept his death if his comrades triumphed.
