Celebrate the 245th anniversary of the first major battle of the American Revolution on the actual battlefield where it was fought! Within Green-Wood Cemetery lies Battle Hill, site of part of the Battle of Brooklyn. Participants will march up to Battle Hill, learn its history and explore the monument Minerva and the Altar to Liberty while enjoying amazing views all the way to the Statue of Liberty. For added fun, each family will get their own tote of Revolutionary-era activities. Green-Wood educators will lead participants through a hands-on project and then families can remain on the grounds as long as they want to keep exploring. Interested families with children entering kindergarten through grade nine in September can apply here through Wednesday, June 23rd.
