Historical Context: The 478-acre Green-Wood Cemetery is located in Brooklyn, New York City. Built in 1838, Green-Wood was intended as a rural cemetery, and was also a popular public destination for strolling, picnicking, and fresh air prior to the development of Brooklyn's Prospect Park. The cemetery contains many well-known monuments and statues, and is also home to a chapel and elaborate Gothic-revival gates. Many prominent Americans are among the 600,000 people buried at Green-Wood.
