Step beyond the iron gates of Brookmere Cemetery in Old Brooklyn. Founded in the mid-1800s, the cemetery is home to beautiful monuments, ornate family plots, and headstones that reflect the ornamentation and symbolism of the era. Many of those buried here were German immigrants and their families, whose names still live on in the neighborhood’s streets today. Discover the stories etched in stone and how this resting place continues to connect past and present in our community.

Today, the grassroots efforts of sisters Linda and Karen who have ancestors buried here, have a made significant impact to the cemetery as work has both physically improved Brookmere Cemetery and educated and informed the public as they advocate for its historic preservation.

This tour is made possible in collaboration with Brookmere Cemetery Preservation Coalition.

Join OBCDC and the Old Brooklyn Tree Stewards for an exciting tree planting project! We will be planting new trees on Broadview Road to add shade, better air quality, and beautify the street for more residents to enjoy.

All plantings will be overseen by a professional arborist. Meeting place TBD.

WELCOME TO THE YOGA CLUB

Register here: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/little-zen-yoga-yoga-club-old-brooklyn-registration-1999272327350

The Yoga Club — Made just for our littlest yogis (ages 4–6)!

A fun & interactive yoga class blending music, games, partner poses, crafts, and breathing tools that build focus, confidence, and connection through joyful movement and play. Little ones will move, stretch, and giggle their way through a class designed just for their age and energy — no experience necessary, and every activity is built to meet them exactly where they are.

Through playful movement and hands-on activities, kids strengthen their bodies, practice calming breathing tools they can use anywhere, and build the kind of focus and self-confidence that carries far beyond the mat. It's a joyful, welcoming space where scholars connect with new friends, try something new, and feel proud of themselves along the way.

What to Bring:

• Yoga mats will be provided — no need to bring your own!

• Comfortable clothes and a water bottle

Who Is Little Zen Yoga?

Little Zen Yoga is a Cleveland-based mobile youth wellness organization bringing yoga, breathwork, and mindfulness programming directly into schools and communities across Northeast Ohio.

This fall, we're expanding that mission into the community directly through The Yoga Club, a f pop-up series bringing joyful, interactive yoga experiences to neighborhood spaces across Cleveland — building the same skills we teach in schools into everyday family life.

At Little Zen Yoga, we believe regulated kids learn better, calmer classrooms function better, and stronger communities start with giving young people the tools to breathe, move, and grow.

Not sure what those cracks and gaps in your home's mortar mean? Come learn the basics of tuckpointing and how this common home repair can help protect your home's masonry while improving its appearance.

During this class, you'll see how to properly tuckpoint and learn why maintaining the mortar between your bricks matters. It's a useful skill for homeowners who want to better understand and care for their homes.
