According to signs in the park, these restored wetlands are located on the former site of a leaf-composting facility. A Revolutionary-era farmhouse that once stood within the bounds of the park and served as a concession stand during the early 20th century was dismantled in 1929 and transported to the Brooklyn Museum, where it was reassembled inside a gallery on the fourth floor (photos here).
