This exhibit at Lefferts Historic House is a replica of the famous Battle Pass, a military installation with two historic replica cannons where visitors can learn about a formative battle. It was created by the Prospect Park Alliance to mark the 250th anniversary of the Revolutionary War's Battle of Brooklyn, the first and largest battle of the American War for Independence. In August 1776, American troops stationed two cannons on this site, in the hills separating Flatbush from the rest of Brooklyn, to defend against the British, but on August 27 British troops evaded these defenses, forcing the Americans to withdraw across the Gowanus Creek. Nearly a century later, Prospect Park landscape architects Frederick Law Olmsted and Calvert Vaux named the area Battle Hill to commemorate the soldiers who fought there.
