Went here with some friends and it's beautiful. Nice fake grass area for kids to play and do some sports. Also has relatively clean bathrooms and a water fountain. It's dog friendly but must be on leash. Nice water play area for kids and some swings and things. The gardens are stunning too
If you're looking for a function space or an area to host an event, look no further than the Old Stone House.
Not only is the venue truly wonderful, the people behind it are even better. They are supportive, helpful, driven, and truly want you to succeed.
We recently hosted a large event at the Old Stone House and all throughout the team at the Old Stone House were happy to help at every turn.
I highly recommend this space for all your concerts, galas, performances, barbecues, and more.

The owner of this building is a real Karen to say the least. She’s not very nice. We approached the house to get a closer look and she approached us with a demeaning answer that we couldn’t go near there and to basically move away. She should just post no trespassing sign unless you make an appointment and pay to see inside. We also witnessed her screaming at a kid running on the lawn in front of her “house”. It’s literally next to a playground if you don’t like the atmosphere it’s time to move! So distasteful. Hopefully that place gets knocked down!
Beautiful Caribbean cultural fest this past weekend
Has a food garden/wildlife habitat, composting at the Sunday farmer's market, events at an historic building, some cultural and some horticultural. Outdoor theater nights in summer. Cool waterworks in playground in summer. Mostly for children but with an area that has those older, too.
Great event space. Rich history. Amazing team led by the always lovely and charming Kim Maier.
I was absolutely amazed by the experience! The attention to detail in the reconstruction is truly impressive, and it really brings to life the history of the area.
The local history displays are also fantastic, providing a fascinating glimpse into the past and helping to put the battle and its aftermath into context. It's truly incredible to be able to walk in the footsteps of the soldiers who fought and died on this ground over two centuries ago.

Not a bad place if you want to skim the surface on what colonial life was like in NYC. The place is nicely maintained and has been restored perfectly. On the inside their are attractions like a fun game, cannon ball simulation and articles/documents line the place. It's honestly just very small and too short to properly spend a day here, so if you live further than 30 minutes from here it's probably not worth coming
Love old houses, the garden was my fav part💞 rainy day adventures 🏡 hopefully next time I go I'll be able to view inside the house.
A nice place to stop by and learn about the Battle of Brooklyn. A super kids friendly place with 3D board games like to play.
The prospect park alliance had a Autism play day today and I was told that they host one once a month. They gave families free entrance to the Lefferts Historic House and taught children how families lived in Brooklyn back in the 1730’s. We washed clothes in the same manner they did back then. They had stilt walking which helps dig the soil. They had make your own soap. Me and my daughter made a orange oatmeal scented soap. The historic house has a three dollar admission but this event was free and they do have a tip box to help the program run. There is a bathroom in the house. We were there earlier than the food kiosk located next to the carousel so there wasn’t any food options available until around 12pm. I ordered me and my daughter Uber eats to the park. The historic house is located in the children’s corner where they have the carousel,boat house and prospect park zoo. I had a good time!!
Great historic house.......made in 1871....
You need to come and see it....

Its a great place to remember New York as it once was. The place features a working garden, historic artifacts, period rooms and exhibits. Visitors are encouraged to play with traditional tools, toys and games, and engage in historic activities such as candle making, sewing and butter churning. Its great for children to experience being in this house and also to learn the history behind this place.
An interesting historical place. Here you can see how Americans lived a long time ago.
The exhibits could use some work. They don't really convey what life was like.
Cute historical gardens on the site if the Stone House where planning for the Battle of Brooklyn hapoen d in 1776. Well tended, berries growing, LinkNYC Free Wi-Fi in range, restrooms, picnic table and benches under large oak tree shade make this an overlooked gem!
Fun and informative interactive museum with many quality artifacts. Staff is super friendly and there's alot to see!
A well preserved piece of Brooklyn history. The artifacts inside the house offer a glimpse of life at the Lefferts household in the 1800s and describe what the surrounding neighborhood of Flatbush (and Brooklyn itself) was like in those days. The house is small and a visit should last no more than an hour. Admission is free but donations are welcome.
They offer guided tours of the second floor of the house. Our guide was a disinterested and ill-prepared high school student who mostly read from a piece of paper as he went about his task. They can really do better finding young people with a passion and enthusiasm for history and training them properly to lead these tours.
