The Battle of Brooklyn at Green-Wood Cemetery

August 26, 2020, 5:00 pm - 6:00 pm

- $5

Much of the Battle of Brooklyn—the first (and largest) battle of the Revolutionary War fought after the signing of the Declaration of Independence—was fought across what is now Green-Wood’s grounds. For years, OSH has partnered with Green-Wood to commemorate this important historic event on their grounds.

Unfortunately, this year, because of the pandemic, it has been cancelled. Instead, join Barnet Schecter, author of “The Battle for New York”, and Jeff Richman, Green-Wood’s historian, for a conversation about that battle—one day before its 244th anniversary—and what happened on that long-ago day across the roads, hills, and valleys that would become The Green-Wood Cemetery.

Sign up here.
