Rest in Pace: Fort Hamilton

This July 27th walk begins and ends at the Fort Hamilton Entrance (located at Micieli Place and Fort Hamilton Parkway).

Join Green-Wood’s leisurely (and lively!) walking group, designed for older adults and those with limited mobility. Together, we’ll take a scenic stroll through the Cemetery, enjoying gentle exercise, breathtaking views, and engaging conversation along the way.

More than just a walk, it’s a chance to connect, share stories, and celebrate life and legacy in a one-of-a-kind setting. Expect good company, meaningful moments, and maybe even a few unexpected tales from the past.

Leading the way is Mary Pat Klein, an acclaimed fiber artist, fitness instructor, and facilitator of Green-Wood’s Grieving and Weaving program. She knows these winding paths like the back of her hand—there’s not a gravestone she hasn’t seen!

Free. Registration required. Please consider a $10 to the Green-Wood Historic Fund so that we can continue to offer more death education programs like this throughout the year.
