The Bowery Boysgave us a shout out on their blog today in a post about Mayor George Hall. They admit to being a little Manhattan-centric so cheers for the Brooklyn post! And I just listened to their fun podcast about Green-Wood Cemetery.
Interestingly, one of the first people we interviewed when our Oral History Program began in 2006 was Charles Hamm whose grandfather commissioned the statue of Minerva who stands in Green-Wood Cemetery keeping watch on the Statue of Liberty.
