Map of Brooklyn Treasures Discovered

We are thrilled to have learned about this wonderful web project, Brooklyn Revealed, created by the New-York Historical Society. It is a virtual historical tour of Brooklyn, leading the viewers down the streets of the different neighborhoods. Viewers can explore the history of the different neighborhoods, find out how the streets were named, as well as see photographs of the streets from the NYHS's archives.

Its simplicity is admirable, its usability enticing. Take a tour and discover it for yourself.
