The Old Stone House - Brooklyn
Kid-friendly and communal, The Old Stone House breaks the Historic House mold. Its location, Park Slope, Brooklyn, has been kidfabulous for decades. It’s a challenge to find an NYC neighborhood with more double strollers on the sidewalks. But the location perfection goes even deeper for OSH. That’s because it sits in the middle of a public park with a playground as well. So, Old Stone House functions as safe harbor with a side order of local history when sudden rains hit.
This historic structure keeps it real. There’s no pretension and nothing’s precious. Part of that lies in its lack of artifacts. Most historic houses raise barriers between visitors and exhibits. That means often taking pictures through metal gates or craning your neck to get a good look. There’s none of that at The Old Stone House. Other historic houses display relevant period pieces and portray domestic scenarios. We visit these to experience what it was like to live in that time and place. But OSH plays it a bit different.
