Weeksville Heritage Center
The Weeksville Heritage Center preserves the history of Weeksville, one of the first free Black communities in antebellum America, founded in Brooklyn in 1838. The center encompasses four surviving 19th-century Hunterfly Road Houses and a modern interpretive building, telling the story of Black freedom, self-determination, and community-building before and after the Civil War.
