Transport yourself back through time as Battle Week celebrates the 235^th Anniversary of the Battle of Brooklyn.  This week long event commemorates the first and longest battle of the revolutionary war.  It was fought on the doorsteps of many recognized landmarks of the area, including the Old Stone House in Brooklyn.  The Old Stone House played an important role in history, after surviving The Battle of Brooklyn it now serves as a museum commemorating the revolution.

The week is packed with educational, as well as, entertaining events, including a live concert with music from the era.  The festivities are kicked off with a reading of the Declaration of Independence on August 19^th.  You’ll have to reserve seats for the canoe tour to get an up close understanding of the infamous escape route for American Soldiers during the war.   Learn all about maritime history and camp life with The Great Escape from General John Glover’s Marblehead Regiment reenactment.  The week comes to a close with a battle re-enactment inside the main gate at the Green-Wood Cemetery, followed by a parade to the top of Battle Hill and memorial ceremony. 

Immerse yourself in our nation’s history.
