A Year in the Park: The Dead Quakers Will See You Now

  Crazy headline from A Year in the Park; but she’s not kidding. The tour of the Quaker Cemetery in Prospect Park drew a really big crowd!

It figures. I cycle over in the sticky heat to one of the rare tours of Prospect Park’s Quaker Cemetery, and by the time I get there, there’s a 40-minute estimated wait on line. At the 10-acre cemetery, which predates the park and contains some 2,000 Friends’ graves, living Quakers were offering re-enactments of some of the interred residents, but I couldn’t tarry that long with dinner guests on the way.
