A 1783 Dutch-American farmhouse in the middle of Prospect Park. The working garden grows heritage crops. The ReImagine Lefferts initiative explores Indigenous and Black history on this land. Perfect for families but interesting for anyone curious about pre-NYC Brooklyn.

After: The Farm on Adderley (farm-to-table, $14-28). Cortelyou Rd in Ditmas Park, 10 min walk. Seasonal menus and a beautiful backyard. Sunday brunch is the highlight.
