Join Green-Wood Historian Jeff Richman for a trolley tour that takes you deep into the Cemetery’s rich Revolutionary War history.

You’ll learn about how, on August 27, 1776, Green-Wood was the site of the largest battle of the war, with General George Washington leading the Continental Army. You’ll also discover the incredible stories of revolutionaries interred at the Cemetery, including soldiers, spies, and political leaders whose contributions were pivotal in America’s fight for independence. This tour offers a fascinating and immersive look into the lives of those who helped shape our nation.
