Green-Wood Cemetery
Green-Wood Cemetery : balade historique à Brooklyn
Fondé en 1838, Green-Wood Cemetery à Brooklyn est l’un des premiers cimetières ruraux aux États-Unis. Créé par un groupe de citoyens soucieux d’offrir un lieu de repos paisible, il est rapidement devenu un site emblématique, mêlant histoire, art et nature. Son emplacement, sur une colline offrant une vue spectaculaire sur Manhattan, en fait un lieu chargé d’histoire et de mémoire. La visite de ce site permet d’explorer des monuments variés, des mausolées élaborés et des sculptures qui racontent l’histoire de Brooklyn et des États-Unis, faisant de chaque balade une expérience riche en découvertes. La richesse de son patrimoine en fait un véritable musée à ciel ouvert, où l’on peut aussi admirer des œuvres d’art et des gravures uniques.
Ce cimetière se distingue par ses paysages luxuriants, ses allées sinueuses et ses espaces verts, parfaits pour une promenade ou une visite contemplative. L’ambiance y est à la fois paisible et mystérieuse, avec des arbres centenaires, des sculptures artistiques et une architecture gothique impressionnante. En automne, le site devient encore plus magique avec les couleurs chaudes des feuillages, offrant un décor idéal pour une balade relaxante ou une exploration culturelle. Green-Wood Cemetery est un lieu où l’histoire, l’art et la nature se rencontrent pour offrir une expérience unique, loin du tumulte de la ville, dans un cadre à la fois grandiose et apaisant.

"Green Wood Cemctery is one of the most beautifully landscaped places in New York. Curving roads wind up hills and past elaborate tombs, statues, and mausoleums. Walk down the winding lanes to fnd thousands of graveside sculptures, from animals to angels, and obelisks to temples. "This was New Yorks first museum," manager of programs Harry Weil savs. "People would come here to see the sculpture long before the Met was established." Indeed, this was the Victorian hot spot to picnic and socialize, a public park before there were public parks. Founded in 1838, Green-Wood was one of America's first rural cem-eteries, and some 570,000 people are buried here. The mission at Green-Wood is to remain an outdoor museum that tells the history of Brooklyn and the nation. It's no surprise that some of the more elaborate graves here have a cult following, like the 1845 grave of Charlotte Canda, who unknowingly designed her own grave. She died in New York in a carriage accident on her 17th birthday. Before her death, she had been designing a gothic revival monument for her late aunt. But when she died, her father turned that design into a monument for his daughter. To add to the poignancy, Charlotte's fiancé Charles Albert Jarrett de la Marie later committed suicide. He is buried near Charlotte. Green-Wood also has its own collection of art - some 400 pieces once owned or painted by people buried here. "We refer to those pieces as 'works by our permanent residents," Weil muses. Over the years, the cemetery has mounted little exhibitions with some of these works. Don't miss French artist Sophie Calle's 2017 site-specific art installation, Here Lie the Secrets of The Visitors of Green-Wood Ceme-tery, where you can scribble your intimate secrets onto papers and lay them to rest inside a grave designed by the artist.

"Leonard Bernstein: Composer, conductor, author, music lecturer, and pianist. He led the New York Philharmonic in more than 1,200 performances and is very well-known for being the composer of the musical, ‘West Side Story’. That might ring a bell! Samuel Morse: Creator of telegraph system, known as the Morse Code. There is a small replica by his grave; Jean-Michel Basquiat: A super renowned contemporary artist that at a very young age, became internationally known. Unfortunately, he died of a heroin overdose at his art studio at the age of 27; William Poole: AKA Bill the Butcher that was portrayed in Martin Scorsese’s “Gangs of New York” by Daniel Day-Lewis; William Colgate: Yup! The founder of the Colgate empire. I’m sure you’ve already use at least one of his products. DeWitt Clinton: Former US Senator, former Mayor of New York City and 6th Governor of New York. Was largely responsible for the construction of the Erie Canal. Remember your history class?"
