Battle Week, organized by Old Stone House, includes demonstrations, performances, and tours culminating in outdoor festivities at Green-Wood Cemetery, all meant to bring to life the dramatic events of 1776.
The Battle of Brooklyn, fought on August 27, 1776, is considered one of America's greatest losses during our war for independence.
While the rest of the troops escaped Brooklyn Heights across the river, Washington sent 400 boys from Baltimore, known as the Maryland 400, on a suicide mission.
The entire 1st Maryland Regiment was killed, but the Continental Army was able to escape, and later won the war.
