About the Program:
For a special fall treat, historian and expert Susan Olsen will lead ADSNY on a new, custom-design trolley tour of Woodlawn Cemetery.
Built on rolling hills, Woodlawn’s tree-lined roads lead to exceptional architectural treasures, some if which were designed by famous American architects such as Ely Jacques Kahn and many that have inspiring stained-glass windows by renowned artisans at Tiffany’s.
While taking in the beautiful fall foliage, we will have an enjoyable ride through Woodlawn on a new heated and air-conditioned trolley to see more of the unique Deco design, stunning Egyptian-revival structures, and learn of famous Jazz Age personalities buried in Woodlawn Cemetery, than ever before.
Many notable 1920s and 30s characters can be found at Woodlawn and have inspiring artistic works and mausoleums to mark their memorials. From jazz and musical greats, instrumental New York political figures, and key individuals in the women’s suffrage movement, this trolley ride will be a whirlwind tour through New York’s history.
Though we will travel by trolley for the more expansive portions of the tour, there will also be walking to see architectural and design details of the memorials as well as inside-access to mausoleums, which are generally closed to the public.
The trolley has very limited seating so please register quickly to ensure your space!
