Our nostalgia ride will depart Old South Ferry Station at noon for a 60-90 minute ride, traveling uptown to The Woodlawn Cemetery and arriving at approximately 1:30pm. During a 2-hour visit, join a guided tour featuring Woodlawn’s art, architecture, stained glass, and gravesites of some of the most famous jazz musicians, suffragists, civic leaders, and business moguls who“reside” there. Guests are welcome to bring a picnic lunch and restrooms are available on-site. Our train will depart Woodlawn station at 4pm and return to Old South Ferry Station at approximately 5pm.
