Eco-family workshop on Greenpoint history

It’s not everyday you get to learn about your own neighborhood’s history in-depth. Here’s your chance.

Tomorrow, from 5:30 to 7 p.m. at MS 126 in Greenpoint, the Greenpoint Eco-Schools and Greenpoint Community Environmental Fund (GCEF) is hosting an event to highlight the neighborhood’s history.

The event features Geoffrey Cobb, a local high school teacher, local historian and author of Greenpoint Brooklyn’s Forgotten Past.

The talk and presentation will include notable historical figures in the neighborhood’s history, with an emphasis on the industrialization and environmental issues that has troubled the neighborhood.

All ages are welcome. Light refreshments will be served at the event.
