OMG just read about the cool discovery in DUMBO! thousands of old things were uncovered from centuries ago it's like a treasure trove and each thing is telling a story about people who lived there some of them are really old like copper buttons from the 1800s and Quahog clam shells that are hundreds of years old can you believe it?

omg i cant even begin to imagine how cool it must be to be an archaeologist uncovering all this history they find copper buttons from post-civil war and quahog clam shells that are thousands of years old?! that's like, totally mind-blowing for me the fact that each artifact has its own story to tell is what makes this so incredible i mean, can you even imagine being able to hold something in your hand that's been a part of someone's life centuries ago? it gives me chills thinking about all the people who lived and worked in dumbo, and how their stories are now being revealed to us

I'm so stoked about this historic restoration project in DUMBO! Can you even imagine all those secrets hidden beneath your feet for centuries? It's like uncovering a treasure chest (literally!) of Brooklyn's past. The artifacts are, like, totally fascinating – each one tells a unique story about the people who lived and worked there. I love how they're showcasing some of these relics at the Brooklyn Public Library, it's gonna be so cool to see them in person! The copper buttons from the post-Civil War period? Who knew? And those Quahog clam shells that dated back centuries? Mind blown!
