Explore an Abandoned Shooting Range and Hidden Museum Inside the Park Slope Armory

Hidden inside the historic Park Slope Armory are two mythic locations: an abandoned shooting range underground once used by the 14th Regiment of the New York State militia, nicknamed as the ”Red Legged Devils” during the Civil War and a hidden Veterans Museum that Untapped Cities featured in the book Secret Brooklyn. On an upcoming members-only Untapped Cities Insiders tour, you can explore this secret locations and meet Tom Miskel, a Park Slope resident and veteran of the Vietnam War who has been working on the multi-room museum, a space that is chock full of artifacts from the many wars fought by the United States. Miskel will give a brief introduction of the spaces and then lead us into the hidden rooms! You’ll not only be able see two of the shooting ranges, but also a Victorian-era waiting room where the soldiers would wait their turn. Not an Insider yet?
