Green-Wood, a Directory for Visitors is a historical guide to Brooklyn's Green-Wood Cemetery, originally published in the 19th century. This directory, intended for visitors to the famous landmark, offers insights into the cemetery's notable monuments and the lives of the individuals interred there. Nehemiah Cleaveland provides a detailed overview of the grounds, highlighting points of interest and offering historical context.
As one of the first rural cemeteries in the United States, Green-Wood served not only as a burial ground but also as a scenic attraction. Cleaveland's directory captures the Victorian era's fascination with death and remembrance, making it a valuable resource for historians, genealogists, and anyone interested in the cultural history of New York. Discover the stories behind the stones in this fascinating journey through Green-Wood's past.
