Battle of Brooklyn Trolley Tour

Join historian Barnet Schecter, author of The Battle for New York, and Green-Wood Historian Jeff Richman, for this annual trolley tour of Green-Wood’s Revolutionary War-related sites. On August 27, 1776, Green-Wood was a battlefield—and much of the largest battle of the war was fought across its grounds. This tour is very popular and sells out every year. Get your tickets now to avoid disappointment.

This trolley tour is offered at a discounted rate to make Green-Wood's rich history more accessible to the public.

Please note that if only 1 ticket shows as available during the purchase process that is the last ticket available.
