Maps are the reason to go. The 1776 battle was fought across ground that is now Green-Wood, Prospect Park and Sunset Park, and the exhibition's closing interactive lays the Revolutionary landscape over the streets you walked in on. An hour, free, with someone who can answer questions is a better introduction than any panel text.
What to expect
One hour, indoors, curator-led, in a gallery setting. Three departures across the day, so it slots around the wider Community Day programme.
Good to know
- Three times to choose from: 11:00 AM, 1:30 PM and 3:00 PM.
- The listing describes it as a free tour; it runs inside the same Community Day.
- Ends with a digital interactive mapping 1776 sites onto the modern street grid.
