Open Doors

It’s back! One of Green-Wood’s most popular outdoor events returns with an afternoon exploring of some of the Cemetery’s most impressive nineteenth-century mausoleums, with exquisite stained glass and some curious surprises! Peek inside the elaborate gates of these stone structures to view stunning examples of Green-Wood’s distinctive architecture. At each location, docents will offer a glimpse into the lives of those who now rest in these opulent edifices.

Please note the following restrictions on this year’s Open Doors before purchasing tickets:

Masks/face coverings must be worn at all times.

A distance of 6 feet must be kept between you/members of your party and others.

Visitors must follow instructions from Green-Wood staff and volunteers throughout the afternoon.

No paper maps will be provided. A PDF map of the route will be emailed in advance to all ticket purchasers. Directional arrows will be placed on the grounds to mark the route.

No trolley service will be available. Comfortable footwear is recommended to walk the Cemetery’s hilly and at times uneven terrain. The entire route will be slightly more than a mile long.
