Description: This beautiful handmade sign would be a wonderful addition to any home decor! Distressed handmade recycled barn wood frame surrounds a heavy 24 gauge recycled steel sign fastened with rust patina steel screws for an authentic weathered vintage look and feel! Measures approx. 5"x13" with brass sawtooth hook on back for fast and easy mounting. Looks great hanging on the wall or on sitting on a shelf! Weeksville was named after James Weeks, a stevedore and African-american ex-slave from Virginia who in 1838 bought a plot of land in the 9th Ward of central Brooklynn, NY. The village itself was established by a group of African-American land investors and political activists, and covered an area in the borough's eastern Bedford Hills area bounded by present day Fulton Street, East New York Avenue, Ralph Avenue and Troy Avenue.
