The Original Bedford-Stuyvesant Tour

Tour goers will see the works of some of Brooklyn’s finest architects; their row houses, apartment buildings, mansions, schools and churches. You’ll also learn about the history and culture of the largest African-American community in New York City, a history that is hundreds of years in the making. Central Brooklyn is the borough’s heart. Come see what makes it beat.
