Queens Historical Society at the Kingsland Homestead Explore more photos from this museum

Founded in 1968 as a not-for-profit organization the Queens Historical Society researches, records, and showcases issues that have had a profound impact on the history of Queens. The Society owns and maintains the Kingsland Homestead, a late 18th Century New York City landmark located in the historic, city-owned Weeping Beech Park in Flushing, Queens. In addition to changing exhibitions, a permanent lobby exhibition details the history of the homestead, and a period room displays furnishing and dress of the Victorian era.
