Step back in time and learn what major events graced Brooklyn over its long history with today's deal from the Brooklyn Historical Society in Brooklyn Heights: Pay $35 for a one-year Family/Partner membership (a $70 value). Aside from granting two adults and children under 18 free admittance into BHS's exhibits and the Othmer Library, as well as invitations to exhibition openings and preview days, you'll also get discounts on BHS merchandise, publications, walking tours, lectures, and workshops with your membership -- perfect for immersing your family in Brooklyn's rich past. In addition, your family will receive free tickets from Brooklyn College to any performances presented by the Conservatory of Music, any one performance by the Department of Theater, and any one performance in the Brooklyn Center for the Performing Arts' Professional Series -- for an experience that's even cooler than grabbing a time machine.
