Soldiers and Sacrifice of the Civil War Trolley Tour
June 7th , 10:00am – 12:00pm
Since 2002, Green-Wood’s groundbreaking Civil War Project has uncovered the stories of over 5,300 veterans who fought in this pivotal chapter of American history. Join Green-Wood Historian Jeff Richman on an engaging trolley tour that brings these powerful tales to life—stories of bravery, sacrifice, and unexpected heroism. Along the way, we’ll visit two of the Cemetery’s most iconic Civil War landmarks: the Soldiers Monument and the Soldiers Lot, where history stands in quiet tribute. This is your chance to connect with the past and experience the legacy of those who fought to shape our nation.
Price: $30, and $24 for members
