A cemetery in New York may not seem like a particularly thrilling attraction, but Green-Wood Cemetery is one of the most beautiful in the country. This 478-acre green space in Brooklyn was the city’s first public park. It’s been designated as a National Historic Landmark and is the final resting place for more than 600,000 people. One of the most unique things about Green-Wood is a small art installation that was put up just a few years ago. The Tomb of Secrets may sound like a destination in a fantasy film, but it’s a real place and it’s hidden within this cemetery in New York.
