The Brooklyn Historical Society is a fascinating place, well worth a visit. For info on my German ancestors who lived in Williamsburg in the 1850s I'll have to come back another time. Today was a great introduction to the area.
Our group, arranged by the Long Island Museum in Stony Brook, enjoyed a private tour today followed by a great lunch at the Heights Cafe, which is one block from the Esplanade. Then we visited the New York Transit Museum. A fun day! The BHS is in Brooklyn Heights, a very "in" place these days.
We saw real stuff from Dem Bums (As a childhood Yankee fan I felt like an interloper)
Here's the gorgeous Library
Talks on interesting paintings of earlier days.Wonderful woodwork, books, displays, stairways.
