There’s plenty to do during Battle of Brooklyn Week
The Battle of Brooklyn began Aug. 21, 1776. The British had a massive fleet anchored off Gravesend Bay and several thousand troops invaded the mainland to start the bloodiest clash of the American Revolution.
Each year, the Old Stone House coordinates events to commemorate the historic conflict.
Green-Wood Cemetery will display revolutionary flags on Aug. 20. The cemetery will also host “Battle of Brooklyn: an 18th Century American Fare” at 11 a.m. on Aug. 28.
