History Happy Hour: Hidden Green-Wood

Green-Wood isn’t wanting for extraordinary and monumental tombs, but many of its most remarkable residents lay buried under unmarked, modest, or sunken stones. It’s no wonder that visitors spend so much time looking for graves that are often easy to miss! You’ll learn about some of Green-Wood’s lesser-known—but equally fascinating—monuments across our 478 acres. Highlights will include suffragist Elizabeth Tilton, whose stone is marked simply as “Grandmother;” Robert “Little Dougie” Spedden, a child survivor of the Titanic; and teenage military cadet Andrew Culver Jr., whose marble gravestone is one of the Cemetery’s most underrated gems.
