This tour will explore the less-visited other side of Green-Wood, whose deceased denizens are no less fascinating. The tour will visit the last resting places of Basquiat, a silent western film star, the original Wizard, the founder of the ASPCA, "The Great Divine," minstrels, several Civil War Generals and many more.

Advance tickets available. No reservations are necessary. http://www.green-wood.com/store.php/store/category/2/tour/89
