Happy Fourth of July! We’ve scheduled some holiday-relevant reading. First is a look at Fourth of July history from the Brownstoner archives.
Read how the Victorians celebrated in parks and debated the public safety of fireworks, just as we do today. Also, meet the Brooklyn man who revived the holiday.
Next up is a guide to Brooklyn’s free outdoor pools. If you’re looking for a way to cool off or a place to take the tots, we’ve got you covered. Enjoy the long weekend.
