The Green-Wood Cemetery

"If you travel, this cemetery does more than carry the dead, There is a entrance building that is guarding the place!. Its architecture is history! And beautiful. Its park like feel and buildings looking on from the outside, made me want to come see what this cemetery was all about. I spent time here with God! it became a means of escape with the lord king Jesus!. Pleasently enough it became a refuge without me feeling creepy. Not only am I trying to explain experience,You have all the outdoor smells that one is attracted to. Flowers, gardens, ponds ect I talked and walked with my lord able to focus and enjoy the geography of the location and how carved out the place was with the design in buildings, plots, and landscaping of things. My thoughts wondered about over the hills and ponds,over the architecture history. The most important thing was my connection with my lord king Jesus. i enjoyed the walks down the twisted paths that stretches into very scenic routes over the park. It is beautiful and amazing. This is one of those times were I can say I will let the pictures do the talking. I never was one to hang out with the dead. But the scripture rang true, Luke 9:60. you will enjoy this cemetery just as much as a park, a cabin on the lake, the grand canyon ect ect."

"genuinely the most beautiful cemetery I have been to so far, which is generally not a lot considering this is only the second one but this place is amazing it's peaceful, it's beautiful, the artistry shown with the mausoleums and tombstones is also incredible to look at if I lived around here I'd go here everyday"

"Hands down, my favorite place in the city. It’s absolutely gorgeous in all seasons; great place to explore, and learn history, and see nature all without leaving Brooklyn. They have a great selection of amazing tours for those who’d like a deeper dive into history. But even without it’s a perfect place for a stroll and to get away from the hustle."

"It's a place I like to see less reviews understand people because the cemetery doesn't exactly treat it as a real attraction. I went a few times a week and didn't find many people. Saw the trees, plants, statues and various birds inside. I feel like I can accept it as a place of interest. There are also interesting places of interest that have stories to tell. It is not even inferior to the adjacent Prospect Park, after all, this cemetery is also large. There are just no big lakes and a few medium-sized river pools. You can also experience climbing in it, with many winding paths. You can also go to the high slope like a hill, you can see the whole Manhattan, in the high place can see the Brooklyn city look."

"I know when thinking of activities, visiting a cemetery is usually not first on the list, but this is definitely a place you should visit. I first came here 2 years ago during the beginning of autumn. I returned again today. It is really really spectacular. There's many trails, a pond , tons of history, they even have tours . It is extremely peaceful, today I even saw groups of families taking pictures, hiking , enjoying the architecture sitting on the bench, praying and just walking about. Again it's a cemetery so be respectful but if you want to take in all of the gorgeous Fall Foliage and you don't want to go to the usual parks with the massive crowds this is definitely a great place to get some fantastic autumn photos."
