The Brooklyn Historical Society and Brooklyn Public Library each have fascinating collections of historic Coney Island artifacts. On Wednesday, May 13, representatives from both organizations will give a talk detailing the stories behind their respective collections. The items include a wax replica’s of Nat King Cole’s head, photographs of the night time Mardi Gras parade and so much more that the topic is a two-part series.
