What has 478 acres of hills, valleys, the highest point in Brooklyn, incredible trees, 3 lakes, a chapel with Tiffany windows, incredible funerary architecture, a resident flock of green parrots, and very scary Halloween Decorations? Greenwood Cemetery is the answer! Join us for some (not so) spooky fun!
| The Chapel |
Built in the style of Victorian Cemteries, with parkland attributes for strolling and picnicking, this gem of New York is open to the public and ripe for urban sketching.
