Note from the President Dear friends, If you’re picking up The Arch for the first time, you might be surprised that this beautiful magazine is published by a cemetery. On its pages you’ll read about art, culture, preservation efforts, the environment, history, educa- tion, and so much more. All of it, taking place right here, right now, at Green-Wood. I’m happy to share with you a snapshot of what’s going on… President Richard Moylan congratulating Brooklyn Borough President Eric Adams on receipt of The New York From classical music to vaudeville and from storytelling to film, our amaz- Landmarks Conservancy Chairman’s Award. ing cultural programs stimulate every sense. Perhaps none more so than Nightfall where you’ll wander the grounds on a beautiful autumn evening, lit by thousands of flickering candles, and encounter musicians, performance artists, films, and storytellers at every winding path. It’s always a sellout—so make your reservations now for this October and the experience of a lifetime. As a National Historic Landmark, Green-Wood is deeply invested in preservation work and in making sure we pass these skills on to next generation. This summer, seven high school students took part in our intensive internship program where they learned to reset, clean, and repair grave markers damaged over time. They put their skills to good work not only here at Green-Wood but also at The Old Gravesend Cemetery, the oldest surviving burial ground in the City dating back to 1643. Unique among green spaces in New York City, Green-Wood takes its responsibility as a steward of the environment very seri- ously and our work is getting noticed! On September 7th, we hosted BioBlitz—a 17-hour biological survey where more than 500 students from Macaulay Honors College catalogued every species of plant and wildlife living here. With this new-found knowledge, our horticulture staff will be better able to manage our spectacular urban forest. Even though it’s more than a year away, the 2020 presidential election is already dominating the news. At Green-Wood, we too have connections to the White House. As The New York Times reported in 2016, nine failed presidential candidates are interred here. Among them is Citizens Party candidate Barry Commoner, a cellular biologist and trailblazing environmentalist who won about 234,000 votes in 1980 as Ronald Regan swept to victory. Now, as part of The Green-Wood Historic Fund Collections, we are the proud owner of original Commoner campaign buttons and posters. These items and many others from our Collections will be on display at “The Green-Wood Center.” A welcoming place for visitors and an exhibition space, the Center will be located near the Main Entrance at 25th Street and Fifth Avenue. Planning is well-underway. Finally, among our most exciting preservation projects is the restoration of the landmarked nineteenth-century Weir Greenhouse. It’s nearing completion. So stay tuned for updates. If Green-Wood inspires you as much as it inspires all of us, we urge you to become part of our campaign for Green-Wood. We depend on your tax-deductible donations for support. Go online to www.green-wood.com/donate or use the envelope in this magazine to become a supporter! See you around the grounds, Richard Moylan President PHOTOGRAPHS: Top: James Salzano, Courtesy of The New York Landmarks Conservancy; Bottom: The Green-Wood Historic Fund Collections IMAGINING ALL A HISTORIC CEMETERY CAN BE Caption Green-Wood’s Vision for the Future BY LISA ALPERT VICE PRESIDENT OF DEVELOPMENT AND PROGRAMMING ere at Green-Wood, we see it happen every day.
