Time Out says

Located within Park Slope's Washington Park, this small farmhouse has a storied history. Built in the 17th century, it played an important role in the Battle of Brooklyn, the first Revolutionary War battle fought after the signing of the Declaration of Independence. 

History tends to ignore this battle because the Americans had to retreat, but this defeat bears an important message: The bravery and persistence of a small group of soldiers allowed the Continental Army to escape, regroup, and live to fight again another day. Find The Old Stone House at 366 3rd Street in Brooklyn's Park Slope neighborhood.

Today it hosts art exhibits and can be toured on the weekends.
