Woodlawn Cemetery Wandering, Tuesday October 6
Our first 2020 wandering is now set for Tuesday, October 6 at Woodlawn Cemetery in the Bronx. This National Historic Landmark founded in 1863 is the resting place for many recognizable names including Fiorello LaGuardia, Herman Meliville, Lionel Hampton, Robert Moses and scores more. We will travel by car to Woodlawn (approximately a 45 minute drive). You may drive alone or with a group depending on your feelings about pandemic risk. We will meet at the cemetery at 9:45 am and then begin a 2 hour tour with a guide to see the beauty of the 400 acre cemetery itself as well as the grave markers and mausoleums of many of its famous inhabitants. You may bring your own lunch since the cemetery has picnic tables which we are welcome to use. Or you may return home after our walk. The cost per person is $10 which we can pay upon arrival. We are limiting the group to 10 members, so first come first served. If you would like to join us please email David Mace. Once our group is formed we will talk about driving arrangements and a specific destination which can easily be found on google maps. It should be a grand day.
