BOROUGH PRESIDENT HELPS BREAK GROUND FOR RENOVATION OF HISTORIC WEEKSVILLE HOMES On October 29th, Borough President Marty Markowitz (center) took part in a groundbreaking ceremony for the restoration of the four Hunterfly Road Houses, which are the last remaining buildings in the pre-Civil War community of Weeksville. The Borough President will contribute a total of almost $4 million dollars in funding for this historic project. "Weeksville is one of Brooklyn's and our country's most incredible landmarks. Its historic homes are a testament to the tremendous resolve of Brooklyn's African American community before and following the Civil War and continue to be a source of inspiration and pride for the community today. While it has an amazingly rich and interesting past, Weeksville's history continues to be written every single day," said the Borough President. This groundbreaking is part of a major five-year restoration and construction project undertaken by the society to restore the historic houses, develop the grounds around the site and construct a Museum/Education Center, making the society’s collections and the history of the community more accessible to the general public. |
