This Wednesday, the show Landmark and Legacy: Brooklyn Heights and the Preservation Movement in America, opens at the Brooklyn Historical Society.
 
March 28 – September 9, 2007
This exhibit will highlight the social and political history that led
to the designation of Brooklyn Heights as New York City ‘s first
historic district. This six month exhibit will take visitors from the
1950s and the establishment of the Brooklyn Heights Association, one of
the first neighborhood associations in the country, through the
struggle with Robert Moses from building the BQE in the middle of
Brooklyn Heights to the implications of the national landmark and
preservation movement in the present day. Landmark and Legacy has been made possible by American Express.
