One of my favorite historical sites in Park Slope, the Old Stone House is a rebuilt Dutch farm house, located on 3rd St., between 4th and 5th Aves, and commemorates the Battle of Brooklyn, in which a colonial regiment from Maryland fought the good fight against British regulars, losing over 200 men, and serving as inspiration for the Colonials to continue fighting. Or something like that. All I know is that some colonial soldiers from Maryland gave a great accounting of themselves, and as a Maryland alum, it makes me proud.
