TourTrue crime

Green-Wood holds some of New York's most lurid stories, and this trolley tour goes straight for them: mob boss Albert Anastasia, mentalist Washington Irving Bishop and the Hall-Mills murders. Riding means you cover far more of the 478-acre grounds than you could walk in a morning. If you love a true-crime podcast, this is that, on wheels, in a Victorian cemetery.

What to expect

Expect about two hours aboard Green-Wood's trolley with an expert guide, stopping at graves and monuments tied to murders, shipwrecks and disasters. Check-in is by name at the trolley beside the Gothic Arch near the main entrance.
