History Happy Hour: Forever Young — The Canda Monument

Life after death takes on a new meaning when discussing the Charlotte Canda monument and the cult fascination that has gripped Green-Wood’s visitors since it was erected. Often the poster child for Green-Wood in early guidebooks from the mid-1800s, the Canda gravesite is exemplary not only for its ornate decoration, but also for the tragic story it tells. Join us for our first-ever History Happy Hour as we dig into the Cemetery’s archives and historical collections to explore the monument’s beautiful design as well as investigate the story behind Green-Wood’s “It Girl.”
