Magicians and Mediums Trolley Tour

Magicians and Mediums Trolley Tour

The Green-Wood Cemetery · Greenwood Heights

, Credit: Green-Wood Staff In the 1850s, New York City was captivated by the sensational story of the Fox sisters, three young women who claimed they could communicate with the dead through mysterious knocking sounds. (The eldest sister, Leah, along with their parents, is buried at Green-Wood.) Though the sisters later admitted it was all a hoax, their story ignited a nationwide obsession with Spiritualism that would endure for decades. On this lively trolley tour, uncover the curious legacies of Spiritualism and stage magic, two rival worlds that often collided in the nineteenth century. Along the way, you’ll visit the graves of strange and spellbinding figures who dabbled in séances, illusions, and the supernatural. Price: $30/$24 for members.
