In one of the oldest populated areas in the United States, exists Gravesend Cemetery, more than one and half acres of land filled with old crooked trees, overgrown weeds and tumbled-down headstones. While the description might attract those who want to reenact a scene out of a horror film, the landmark site in south Brooklyn dates back to 1643, when English Quakers decided to turn the plot of land into a gravesite.
