Lakewood Trolley Tour

Hop aboard the trolley for a guided tour of Lakewood’s 250 acres of park-like beauty and storied history. We’ll take in vistas of the landscape and architecture, dive into the stories of some of Lakewood’s notable residents, and appreciate the artistry of monuments and sculptures. One of Lakewood’s talented volunteers will be your tour guide for this relaxed and informative experience.

Seats are limited. If you need to cancel your reservation, please email events@lakewoodcemetery.org so others may enjoy this experience.
