Weeksville Heritage Center
Created to preserve and celebrate Weeksville, one of North America’s first free Black communities, the centre’s fascinating teachings open visitors’ eyes to the importance of African American emancipation and empowerment through an intimate intersection of history, art, and culture. Guests can gain a glimpse into the lives of a community that has repeatedly pushed the boundaries of identity, making it a pillar of Brooklyn’s cultural diversity.
Brooklyn Bridge
The beauty, prowess, and heritage of the beloved Brooklyn Bridge can never be overstated. Once standing as the largest suspension bridge in the world, thousands of labourers arduously worked on the iconic landmark between 1869 and 1883, many of whom were immigrants from Germany, Ireland, and Italy with roots in Brooklyn to this day.
Industry City
Derived from a huge industrial complex dating from the early 20th century, Industry City is positioned at the heart of Brooklyn and is an urban metropolis that showcases some of the best and brightest underground creatives the borough has to offer. The 35-acre space is packed with restaurants, pop-up shops, budding entrepreneurs, and bustling outdoor hang-out spots, letting visitors delve deep into its eclectic biuniqueness.
