Event Details:
Date: Sunday, April 6
Time: 9:00 AM – 2:00 PM

Attendees will have the opportunity to browse a diverse collection of gently used books covering topics such as biographies of notable individuals interred at Woodlawn, New York history, American cemeteries, jazz, vaudeville and early Broadway, and the grandeur of the Gilded Age.
In addition to the book sale, visitors can participate in a free guided tour of the impressive Harbeck mausoleum. Standing at 90 feet, it is the tallest mausoleum within Woodlawn Cemetery and showcases remarkable architectural details, including stained-glass windows by Tiffany Studios and a stunning mosaic dome ceiling crafted by the Guastavino Company. The Woodlawn Conservancy is actively fundraising for the restoration of this historical structure.
