Trolley Tour of Greenwood Cemetery
DUMBO & Red Hook, Brooklyn
One Day Tour ~ Saturday, May 1, 2021
or Saturday, May 8, 2021
Climb aboard a fascinating and memorable two-hour narrated trolley tour of Brooklyn’s 478-acre Greenwood Cemetery, listed on the National Register of Historic Places and a National Historic Landmark. It’s like a drive though a manicured landscaped park and museum as our guide provides us with fascinating stories of many of the cemetery’s most famous and not so famous permanent residents. On these rolling hills is a world-class collection of monuments and mausoleums that include Classical, Egyptian, Gothic, and Romanesque styles. See breathtaking views of Manhattan and stand where George Washington and his troops fought in the Battle of Brooklyn. Among those buried here are famous politicians, generals, artists, authors, mobsters, Currier & Ives, Leonard Bernstein, Horace Greeley, Samuel Morse, Duncan Phyfe and countless others. From here we drive to the nearby original Junior’s Restaurant on Flatbush Avenue where we are treated to an included lunch. This afternoon we take a drive through portions of Red Hook, Brooklyn with a stop at Valentino Park that provides panoramic vistas of the New York Harbor and the Manhattan skyline. We also visit the riverfront in Brooklyn known as DUMBO (Down Under the Manhattan Bridge Overpass) and the newly expanded Brooklyn waterfront and Fulton Landing. Here there is time to stroll along this scenic and historic area and again take in breathtaking views of the Manhattan skyline.
