Yesterday instead of having Speech and English in a classroom we went and had a little field trip to the Brooklyn Historical Society. The BHS was only like 3 blocks away from City Tech, but we went around to explore the neighborhood. I can say that it was pretty fun walking around looking at all the building that I never seen before. We learned about the Post office that it is across the street from the school, and we also learned about a monument of Henry w. Beecher a famous preacher.

Once we arrived to our destination to the Brooklyn Historical Society, I was pretty amazed of the building appearance. The color of the building is like dark faded red, and when you looked up you see heads sculpted. These heads are called busts, and they represent famous explorers, philosophers, and writers. We learned that the BHS was built in 1881 and how some people use to live here and thy were called caretakers. Going inside was another great experience! everything was made out of wood that had nice designs engraved on the wood. The stairs would creek when we would go up, and the library was great! I was never amazed in seeing a library before. There are big wooden shelves for all the books, and its crazy to think that the library contains original historical documents. Which may explain all the important rules for being in the building that we went over at the end of our visit. I cant wait to come again and visit this historical place and have the chance to read books from the library.
