Bushwick history genius John Dereszewski wants you to take a walk with him down the path of Bushwick Creek.

“Discover and explore a long lost body of water that once formed the Greenpoint-Williamsburg border and continues to influence life in these two communities to this day. This trip will also trace the all-but-forgotten course of one of Brooklyn’s oldest railroads. Finally, this journey will end at the oldest settlement in northern Brooklyn — the original town of Bushwick, which isn’t even in the current neighborhood of Bushwick.”

John has proven his expertise in these pages with his informative comments and on previous walking tours he has helped conduct in Bushwick. There is a $13 fee for participating, and it helps support the Brooklyn Center for the Urban Environment. Founded in 1978, BCUE is “dedicated to educating individuals about the built and natural environments of New York City.”
