Enjoy a re-enactment of the historic Battle of Brooklyn, following the footsteps of the soldiers who fought in this historic military event, from the Long Meadow in Prospect Park down 3rd Street to the Old Stone House.
The public viewing area will be on the west side of the Prospect Park Long Meadow. Enter using the park entrances at Third Street, Garfield Place or Grand Army Plaza. View the map.
Please be advised that this battle reenactment will feature loud sounds and smoke.
Following the reenactment, the Old Stone House will host a commemoration of the Maryland 400, soldiers of the 1st Maryland Regiment who sacrificed themselves during the Battle of Brooklyn.
While you are in the park, visit our replica of the Battle Pass fortification and an exhibit on the role of Black people in the Battle of Brooklyn, on view at Lefferts Historic House.
Prospect Park Alliance’s America 250 events are made possible in part through “Brooklyn250” funding from the State of New York, through the support of Senator Andrew Gounardes, Assembly Member Robert Carroll, and Assembly Member Jo Anne Simon. Brooklyn250 is a borough-wide commemoration of the historic Battle of Brooklyn during the Semiquincentennial of the United States.
