Good news about closing time from the President of Green-wood Cemetery:
We know how
important Green-Wood has been for members of our community over the last
six months—as a safe space to wander, explore history, and commune with
nature.
As the weather gets cooler and the days get shorter, Green-Wood closes the gates a bit earlier in the day. Typically, on October 1st, our closing time shifts from 7:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m.

This year, because we have welcomed
an unprecedented number of visitors, we have decided to keep all four
of our entrances open till 6:00 p.m. daily through the month of October. That
means you will have an hour more than usual at this time of year to
enjoy our landscape each evening.
We will resume our regular fall hours
(5:00 p.m. closing time) in November.
We hope that Green-Wood will continue to serve as a welcome respite from the challenges of 2020.
