Green-Wood in 3D

During the 1860s and 1870s, Green-Wood was a favorite site for professional photographers who were looking to take a break from the humdrum of shooting urban scenes to capture the Cemetery’s monuments and grounds. And they often did so using a popular nineteenth-century technique to create the appearance of three-dimensional images, producing photographs known as stereoviews. The Green-Wood Historic Fund has collected hundreds of these views. Join Historian Jeff Richman as he takes you on a tour of the Cemetery, pairing these 3D images of “then” with recent photographs of “now.” You’ll be able to sit in front of your computer wearing 3D glasses and experience the Green-Wood of 150 years ago!
