Lives of WWII at Green-Wood (Trolley Program)

The Green-Wood Cemtery is a 478-acre cemetery, arboretum, historic landmark and public art space. Founded in 1838 Green-Wood offers unique, standards-based programs that will captivate students in grades 3K through 12 in Brooklyn’s most unique outdoor classroom!
Bring your class to the gravesites of influential, fascinating, and unsung witnesses to history; explore trees and wildlife environmental education programs; or sketch and analyze the distinctive art and architecture that covers our grounds.

Programs Overview
Green-Wood school programs take place at the Cemetery and are led by experienced Green-Wood educators. Programs include discussion, inquiry-based exploration, and/or a hands-on component. All programs are tailored to specific grade levels and support a variety of DOE and other curriculum-based standards. We conduct walking programs and ones using our historical trolley.
Each guided Green-Wood school program can accommodate a group size of up to 35 students and their adult chaperones. We follow DOE guidelines as to required student to adult chaperone ratios.
Walking programs range from 75-90 minutes and take place completely outdoors, rain or shine. Walking programs can be scheduled Monday through Friday starting at 10:00am, 11:30am or 1:00pm. We can accommodate up to three groups per walking program timeslot every weekday. Note that none of Green-Wood’s walking programs are ADA compliant; however, we will do our best to create mobility aid-friendly program routes whenever possible
Trolley programs last 90 minutes to two hours and take place partially outside and partially on the trolley, rain or shine. We are only able to offer one trolley program per day starting at 10 am. Occasionally, the trolley can be booked again at 11:30 or in the afternoon. The trolley is ADA compliant. Please reach out to us with any information about access needs to help us make your program a success.
