The 9 Best Kept Secrets In Brooklyn
Quaker Cemetery in Prospect Park
Built in 1849, this Quaker burial ground is actually older than Prospect Park itself, which is the reason that it was allowed to remain within the park proper. Although it is gated off and private, access to the cemetery is possible because there are occasional tours and events held there. It’s an active cemetery, meaning that people are still buried there, they’ve just got to be Quakers when they die. And there is one notable person who’s spending eternity in Prospect Park: Montgomery Clift, whose mother had him buried there when he died in 1966.
