About the event
This is a commemorative tour and experience to honor and remember a series of pivotal events during the Battle of Brooklyn August 27-29, 1776, which ended up being the largest battle of the American Revolution. The Americans miraculously endured a surprise attack by a huge British military force which enabled them to continue striving for freedom.
Cost: Walking tour portion is free with suggested $3 for admission to the Old Stone House where there are several exhibits included one about the Battle of Brooklyn. For the East River Ferry ride from Brooklyn to Wall Street the fare is $2.75.
After our visit to the Old Stone House, we'll follow the route of retreat taken by the American troops who eventually met up with General Washington at today's Fulton Ferry Landing by the Brooklyn Bridge, where 9,000 Americans escaped to Manhattan by crossing the river at night.
