Kim Maier is the Executive Director of the Old Stone House & Washington Park - a community-based history, culture and environmental organization that is the conservancy organization for Washington Park/JJ Byrne Playground in Park Slope, Brooklyn. The Old Stone House, originally the Vechte Cortelyou House, is a member of the Historic House Trust of New York City and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. In partnership with the OSH board of directors, Kim has overseen more than $10 million in park renovations over the past ten years; as well as the installation of a family-focused permanent exhibit for the OSH that explores the original Lenape settlement of the site, Dutch colonization, how the Battle of Brooklyn and the Revolutionary War-time occupation impacted the lives of 18th century Brooklynites from all walks of life, and the history of Washington Park, which was one of the country’s first professional baseball fields. A resident of Park Slope since 1983, Kim has served on the board of the Park Slope 5th Avenue Business Improvement District, the Park Slope Civic Council and the PTA of every school ever attended by her children.
