He was elected Mayor of Boston in 1882, and served one term, after which he campaigned again but was not reelected. Green served as a trustee for many local societies, including the Peabody Education Fund and the Boston Public Library, where he spent one year as a librarian in 1877. He also served on the Boston School Board. In 1878, Congress appointed him to a board of experts researching yellow fever. Green was a fellow of the Massachusetts Medical Society and delivered their centennial address in 1881. Green received an honorary LL.D. degree from the University of Nashville and the Decoration of Merit from Venezuela. Medicine was not Green’s only interest. From 1868 until his death, Green served as the librarian for the Massachusetts Historical Society. During this time their collection grew from 8,000 volumes to 50,000. He wrote frequently on the subject of local history. His publications about his hometown of Groton include “The Early Records of Groton, Mass., 1662-1677” (1880), “Groton During the Witchcraft Times” (1883), and “The Boundary-Lines of Old Groton” (1885).
