SUMMARY:Battle Pass in Prospect Park Exhibit
DESCRIPTION:Join Prospect Park Alliance to learn more about the Revolutionary War’s Battle of Brooklyn\, the first and largest battle of the American War for Independence\, on its 250th anniversary with this replica of the famous Battle Pass:  in August 1776\, American troops stationed two cannons on this site\, in the hills separating Flatbush from the rest of Brooklyn\, to defend against the British. However\, on August 27\, British troops evaded these defenses\, forcing the Americans to withdraw across the Gowanus Creek to temporary safety. Nearly a century later\, Prospect Park landscape architects Frederick Law Olmsted and Calvert Vaux named this area Battle Hill to commemorate the soldiers who fought there. This replica military installation\, replete with two historic replica cannons\, serves as a place for visitors to learn more about this formative battle.

SUMMARY:Black People and the Battle of Brooklyn Exhibit
DESCRIPTION:Join Prospect Park Alliance to learn about the important and varied roles Black people played in the Revolutionary War’s Battle of Brooklyn in August 1776\, the first and largest battle of the American War for Independence. They served as soldiers and spies on both sides\, built American forts\, maintained the British ships\, and seized the conflict to better their lives. This pop-up exhibit in the yard of Lefferts Historic House explores this complex history by illustrating the different ways Black people related to the conflict\, but also their shared struggles and goals. Come learn how the Africans enslaved by the Lefferts family and their neighbors and counterparts navigated the American War for Independence\, including fighting at Battle Pass in what is now Prospect Park.

SUMMARY:Declare Independence: Tear Down the King
DESCRIPTION:Join the Old Stone House for a family-friendly reenactment of a Revolutionary turning point + the Urban Park Rangers. \n\n\n\nAfter General George Washington ordered the Declaration of Independence read aloud to American troops in Manhattan and Brooklyn preparing for a British assault in July 1776\, servicemen tore down and cut apart the gilded statue of King George III at Bowling Green. This act shocked the royal families of Europe and continues to serve as a symbol of liberation today. \n\n\n\nJoin Scholar-in-Residence Dylan Yeats for a fun\, family-friendly reenactment of this historic event in front of the Old Stone House. Visitors will be encouraged to write tyrannies they seek to declare independence from on a re-created statue of King George III.
