In celebration of the bold women who challenged the social, cultural, and political norms of the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, this trolley tour will spotlight Green-Wood’s pioneering women and their inspiring stories. You’ll be captivated by Grace Nail Johnson, a civil rights activist and key figure in the Harlem Renaissance; Louisine Havemeyer, a socialite and philanthropist who was arrested for attempting to burn an effigy of Woodrow Wilson; Elizabeth Gloucester, a successful entrepreneur whose fortune funded John Brown’s raid on Harpers Ferry; and many more trailblazing women whose legacies continue to inspire.
This trolley tour is offered at a discounted rate to make Green-Wood’s rich history more accessible to the public.
