@brooklynuncoverednyc: Brooklyn’s Prospect Park has a cemetery hidden inside it—and the cemetery was there first. 🗽🔎 Friends Cemetery was established by Quakers in 1849, before Prospect Park existed. When the park was developed, the private burial ground remained. Even Hollywood history is connected to this quiet place. Actor Montgomery Clift was buried here in 1966. Thousands visit Prospect Park, but how many know this piece of Brooklyn history is tucked within its wooded landscape? Follow Brooklyn Uncovered for more overlooked stories hiding in plain sight. #BrooklynUncovered #ProspectPark #FriendsCemetery #BrooklynHistory #HiddenNYC
I remember that cemetery in the 70's and 80's and wondered what happened to it cause i don't see it anymore.

🗽🔎 Imagine walking through Prospect Park for years and never realizing there's a cemetery dating back to 1849 inside it! And Montgomery Clift is buried there. Brooklyn really does have history hiding everywhere. Did you know about this one?🗽🔍
