Exhibition Tour, The Battle of Brooklyn: Fought and Remembered

The guided walk through the Center for Brooklyn History's exhibition uses primary sources to mark the anniversary of the August 1776 clash that unfolded in what is now Brooklyn. The first and largest battle of the American Revolution is retold with documents and other original materials, making the tour a close look at the record rather than a broad lecture. The focus stays on the evidence, which gives the story a tangible edge.
