since a great deal of people seem to think Williamsburg is the coolest place in Brooklyn I am here to tell u simply...its not. Brooklyn has an abundance of history which runs 400 years that is pretty impressive if I do say so myself. Instead of waiting for the list of 10 things to do in Brooklyn which seems to always happen in Williamsburg (again mind boggling) one spot you should definitely hit is the Brooklyn Historical Society. I have been going here since I was a teenager and I have never been disappointed. Founded in 1863 the building houses an abundance of history on Brooklyn. As one in seven Americans can trace their family roots to Brooklyn, the
BHS collections represent an important national resource. So how you like them apples : )
From exhibits, to lectures, to after school programming BHS has it all. In June, a wonderful exhibit will open focusing on the history of Brooklyn dating back to the Dutch settlers. The exhibit will be curated and designed by 4 Brooklyn high schools...how cool is that?! The building holds a museum, educational center and library. Its only $6 for adults $4 for everyone else and free if u are a member. Check out the blog too, there are some great photographs on there.
Now go get some culture : )
