Explore Prospect Park and Green Wood Cemetery

Join us for an afternoon of urban exploration, history, and fresh air! We’ll gather in front of the Brooklyn Central Library, then take a leisurely walk through Prospect Park, exiting on Prospect Park West near Nitehawk Cinema.

From there, we’ll continue on foot to Green-Wood Cemetery, one of Brooklyn’s most beautiful and historic landmarks. Inside, we’ll locate and geotag some of the famous graves using mapping apps and shared coordinates — a fun way to combine walking, history, and a bit of detective work!
