Friday, October 3, 2008
6 PM - 9:30 PM
At Green-Wood's Historic Chapel

public schools on topics ranging from the Civil War to art and architecture and community outreach events such as our author lecture series in Green-Wood's Historic Chapel, concerts, dance performances and seasonal special events.
