Description
Founded in 1863, the society is located in a landmark four-storey Queen Anne-style building and houses numerous permanent and ongoing exhibits, including ‘It Happened in Brooklyn’, highlighting local links to crucial moments in American history. A major photo and research library—featuring historic maps and newspapers, notable family histories, and archives from the area’s prominent abolitionist movement—is accessible by appointment. Boat tours of the waterfront in summer are fun and fascinating.
