The Brooklyn Diggers are a collective of activists, artists and historians whose aim is to reclaim the psycho geography of our neighborhoods and expose ignored perspectives in history.
On October 25, 1861 the keel of the USS Monitor was laid. Come and celebrate the 150th anniversary of the USS Monitor and the workers who built Greenpoint and worked in the shipbuilding industry. The Diggers will recreate Greenpoint circa 1861 for a one day festival that imagines North Brooklyn when it was the center of national trade and shipbuilding. The event will include a pop-up museum, smell boxes, nautical knot tying, food from the time, music and interpretation.
Come one come all. Event is Free. Bring yourself, friends, family, kids even pets. See you there!
