This act of defiance was a significant turning point that helped to trigger the American Revolution. In commemoration of what became known as the Boston Tea Party\, we will walk in a procession\, led by the Color Guard of the Sons of the American Revolution (SAR) and accompanied by a drummer and a fifer\, from Green-Wood’s Main Entrance Arch to the grave of Ebenezer Stevens. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFree.

We will also place a Patriot Medallion provided by the Sons of the American Revolution.

Returning warblers will be in their less flamboyant fall plumage. Large numbers of blackbirds\, flycatchers\, sparrows\, vireos\, and swallows will also be passing through. By October\, we’ll be on the lookout for returning waterfowl and raptors heading south. November will bring back our overwintering feathered denizens from the north. \n\n\n\nAll walks are at a slow pace on easy to moderate terrain\, but proper\, closedtoe footwear is suggested. \n\n\n\nBefore Purchasing A Ticket\, Please Note:\n\n\n\n\nAttendees must follow ALL instructions and guidance from Cemetery staff and ambassadors.\n\n\n\nTickets: There is no need to print tickets! Attendees will be checked in by name.\n\n\n\nWhere To Go: Check-in takes place at the meadow near the Main Entrance at Fifth Avenue and 25th Street (500 25th Street).\n\n\n\nFor Your Safety: We strongly encourage attendees to wear suitable footwear. The route includes several steep hills\, some stairs\, as well as grassy and uneven terrain. There is no place to sit down during the tour. Due to the challenging nature of the route\, this tour is not ADA compliant and is not recommended for children under the age of 10.\n\n\n\nA Little More About Safety: Unless it is a medical emergency\, it is not possible to leave during the tour.

Visitors are encouraged to pay tribute to lost loved ones by lighting candles\, and by leaving personal offerings\, including flowers\, photographs\, food\, and notes.  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSantos-Briones’ installation\, Mictlan\, draws inspiration from both ancient and modern conceptions of death in Mexico. The title refers to the underworld of Aztec mythology where souls of the departed spend eternity. The centerpiece of the installation\, the community altar\, is designed as a pyramid\, modeled after the monuments and temples constructed by indigenous populations. This architectural style\, along with other practices and traditions\, was lost in the sixteenth century\, when Europeans colonized the region and forced conversion to Christianity. \n\n\n\nSantos-Briones is a visual artist\, educator\, and cultural organizer with indigenous Nahua roots based in New York. Her photography has been published in The New York Times\, Vogue\, Buzzfeed\, The Intercept\, New Yorker\,  The Nation Magazine\, among others.
