Remembering is both a collective and a personal activity. In this exhibition, both are on display in relation to two World’s Fairs that took place in Flushing, Queens in 1939/40 and 1964/65. Within this exhibition, collective memory is represented by shared experiences of the Fairs and personal memory by the memorabilia drawn from the collections of people who attended and fondly recall the Fairs. While these Fairs were global in scope, their attendees were overwhelmingly local, many residing in Queens. All items on display in the exhibition have either been donated or loaned to the Queens Historical Society by those residents of Queens who attended the Fairs.
Open Tuesdays, Saturdays and Sundays, 2:30 – 4:30 pm. Through May 31, 2015.

Walking Tour: Bowne House Celebrates Path Through History Weekend
Join a walking tour to portions of the former 300-acre 17th and 18th century Bowne House Farm and the 19th century Parsons Nursery.
Meet at the 37-01 Bowne Street gate
Join a walking tour to portions of the former 300-acre 17th and 18th century Bowne House Farm and the 19th century Parsons Nursery.
The 1661 Bowne House, the oldest house in Queens, was home to John Bowne and nine generations of the Bowne/Parsons family. For early Quakers, it was a place to gather for worship. For thousands of visitors, it has been a memorial to John Bowne and his role in securing the freedoms espoused in the 1645 Charter of the Town of Flushing and the Flushing Remonstrance (1657), principles later enshrined in the First Amendment.
The museum offers tours. For more information, please visit bownehouse.org.
Bowne House is a City, State, and National landmark. Bowne House is part of NYC Parks and the Historic House Trust.
