Brooklyn's historic Green-Wood Cemetery balances serene parkland with a lively roster of community events. Plan your visit with Karpo.
Description
The site connects directly to the historical expansion of Brooklyn as it incorporated lands south of the ferry into Kings County around 1848. Among its historical markers, the grounds contain a mass grave marked by a granite obelisk for victims of a fire, whose families were supported by a city fund and an official relief committee.
