Old Brooklyn - Take a Hike Summer Series tour

Explore the history and evolution of historic Old Brooklyn, where each building and street corner tells a story of the past. The neighborhood’s evolution unfolds in the gradual accumulation of cultural, architectural, and social changes. From early settlements to modern developments, each phase has added a distinct layer, and every turn offers a glimpse into how the past continues to shape the present.

Along the way, the tour includes a stop at Brookmere Cemetery, offering a reflective look at the individuals and families whose lives are part of Old Brooklyn’s enduring story—and wraps up with a “sweet” stop at a neighborhood bakery.

PARKING available in Brooklyn Dental Group parking lot at 4163 Pearl Road.

RESERVATIONS are requested but not required, walk-ups the day of tour are welcomed.
