The boroughs of New York City have some of the oldest and largest cemeteries in the U.S., Manhattan included. But how has one of the most developed tracts of land on Planet Earth managed to preserve so many final resting places? From the base of soaring skyscrapers to underground columbariums, it's time to explore Manhattan's collection of burials and symbolic monuments with the help of a few "clews."
Join New York Adventure Club for a digital exploration of the graves, cemeteries, crypts, and memorials of Manhattan, many of which have honored the deceased for hundreds of years in the face of New York's runaway building spree.
Led by licensed tour guide and graveyard expert Dave Gardner, our exploration of Manhattan's few remaining final resting places will include:
Afterward, we'll have a Q&A with Dave — any and all questions about the burials of Manhattan are welcomed and encouraged!
