History group’s Liberty Weekend makes the past come alive
If you love American history, then the New Utrecht Reformed Church in Bensonhurst is the place to be this weekend (May 31-June 1).
Liberty Weekend, a two-day event sponsored by Friends of Historic New Utrecht, will take place on the grounds of the New Utrecht Reformed Church, on 18th Avenue and 84th Street. Visitors can delve into history by talking to Revolutionary War re-enactors, hearing a Civil War-era cannon being fired, enjoying looking at displays of artifacts, and attending lectures on US history.
And it’s all free!
