60-Minute Stroll Tour
June | Saturdays | 1:00pm
Explore the history and evolution of historic Old Brooklyn, where each building and street corner tells a story of the past. Just as layers of rock reveal the Earth’s history, the neighborhood’s story unfolds through the gradual accumulation of cultural, architectural, and social change.
From early settlements to modern development, each phase has added a distinct layer—shaping the community seen today. Along the way, the tour includes a stop at Brookmere Cemetery, offering a reflective look at the individuals and families whose lives are part of Old Brooklyn’s enduring story—and wraps up with a “sweet” stop at a neighborhood bakery..
