"A hidden historic landmark in the middle of ever-changing Park Slope is a gem for those seeking to explore local history. It’s hard to imagine the present-day Park Slope as a simple farmland, or as a battlefield that it was during the American Revolutionary War. It’s also not an urban legend that the waters of Gowanus creek aided the explosive growth of the local economy, at the end, vanishing altogether, leaving behind just a name, and a small, yet highly polluted body of water." - Anna Griniuk
