Explore through the massive cemetery’s winding pathways passing by gravestones of famous figures from war heroes to even mobsters.
Green-Wood Cemetery was actually built in 1838 as a rural cemetery, believe it or not. The city developed too rapidly and Green-Wood was built to help create more space for remains as the others were quickly filling.
The graveyard became popular quickly and was often called Brooklyn’s first public park as Prospect Park wasn’t created quite yet. It became so popular that it inspired the creation to design Central Park, and then Prospect Park.
Old Stone House
Located right off of 5th Avenue on the border of the Park Slope and Gowanus neighborhoods is the historic landmark, Old Stone House in Washington Park.
The Old Stone House is a National Register of Historic Places monument and dates back to 1699. The Old Stone House has undergone several restorations, but it was originally a Dutch stone farmhouse owned by Dutch immigrants who farmed the land here and harvested oysters.
The Old Stone House was an integral part of the famous Battle of Brooklyn known officially as the 1776 Battle of Long Island. This was the largest fight in the Revolutionary War on August 27, 1776.
This is where the Americans led and commanded the fight against the British and General Charles Cornwallis where the Americans would lose this brutal battle and the British had a victory.
This was the fight that helped the British occupy Brooklyn and Manhattan for seven years. However, during the infamous Battle of Brooklyn George Washington and his troops escaped the defeat to the British to later fight again and win the war.
