"Or Give Me Death: An (Educational) Tour of the Historic Burying Ground," led by HHS's Tours & Interpretation Coordinator, Zack Veith

Enjoy a revolutionary evening amongst the graves this autumn with Historic Huguenot Street. Join us for a Revolutionary War-themed guided tour of our historic "Old Huguenot Burying Ground" on Saturday evenings in October Visiting various gravestones associated with soldiers, a suspected Loyalist, and witnesses to history, "Or Give Me Death" will explore the diverse stories of the revolution through the final resting places of its participants. Drawing from archival records, staff will share stories from colonial funeral practices to local raids, while showcasing to guests the evolution of gravestones in New York and what they can tell us about the traditions of the European settlers along Huguenot Street. Appropriate for all ages Please note due to the nature of this location—a historic burying ground, with uneven, unpaved ground and close clusters of gravestones—this tour may not be accessible for everyone. Historic Huguenot Street aims to make its programs accessible to everyone, wherever possible, with understandable limitations given the historic nature of our grounds.
