Notes of Tribute: Viewing the 9/11 Memorial Lights
Green-Wood serves as the final resting place for over 100 people who lost their lives on September 11, 2001, and in the years that followed. In their remembrance, we will gather on one of Green-Wood’s hills overlooking the city skyline to witness the tribute lights over lower Manhattan.
Our program will include words of remembrance and a reading of the names of 9/11 victims memorialized at Green-Wood. Music will anchor and guide us through the evening from sunset onward. All are welcome.
