Ride a vintage subway train to Brooklyn and explore Green-Wood Cemetery on a guided tour with the New York Transit Museum.

What to expect

The journey starts at 96 St–2 Av in Manhattan aboard IND R1/9 subway cars from the 1930s. At Green-Wood, a guided tour introduces the stories of people buried in the cemetery.

The train ride is part of the experience: historic interiors and vintage advertisements offer a glimpse of everyday travel in another era. Bring a picnic to enjoy at the destination.

  • There are no toilets on the train. Eating and drinking on board are not permitted.
