About this event

  • Event lasts 2 hours

In a presidential election, there can only be one winner; everyone else is just… a loser. On this final Saturday of the 2024 election cycle, Green-Wood offers a fascinating historical perspective on past campaigns. Discover the ambitions and political upsets of presidential hopefuls like DeWitt Clinton (who lost to Madison in 1812) and Horace Greeley (who lost to Grant in 1872). Plus, delve into the intriguing stories of several more obscure candidates who had great tales of their own.
