O que fará

Woodlawn Cemetery
517 E 233rd St, Bronx, United States
Just minutes by subway from Manhattan you'll discover one of New York City’s best kept secrets, Woodlawn Cemetery. On this walking tour around the National Historic Landmark, a wonderland of architectural gems from the Gilded Age, I’ll tell you about some of the cemetery’s most illustrious residents.
Starting at Woodlawn Conservancy, I’ll point out the art and sculpture inside th
is cemetery, along with some of the more than 390 tree species inside this magnificently landscaped arboretum. As you’ll soon find out, the cemetry’s real treasures are not the grand crypts and mausoleums, but the fascinating stories of their fabulously rich and famous residents.
We’ll meet all the most memorable characters including Irene Castle, the dancer
that invented every aspect of the ‘20s flapper look, Alva Vanderbilt Belmont, the real-life inspiration for HBO's The Gilded Age, and Clude Fitch, Broadway’s most successful and forgotten playwright. You'll also see Anna Bliss' Titanic Memorial.
Our tour of this world-famous cemetery ends in front of the crypt of Barbara Hutton
She was known as the ”Poor Little Rich Girl,” who traded her vast fortune for titles, marrying (and divorcing) seven times, five times to royals.
