Home Front and Front Lines: 250 Years of American Service

Join the Bayside Historical Society in celebrating our newest exhibit, which highlights the stories of Queens residents whose acts of service and sacrifice have shaped the American story. ✨

Travel through time with us and discover 250 years of service, sacrifice, and patriotism by northeast Queens residents whose actions have played pivotal roles in defining our nation: religious liberty, representative government, freedom of speech, and equality. 📜

We are excited to present inspiring narratives of courage and service spanning from 1657 to the present day. This exhibition covers a wide range of impactful moments, from the growth of the Quaker faith and the pursuit of religious freedom, to the contributions of early American families, the covert operations of George Washington's Culper Spy Ring, acts of valor during the Civil War, and the sacrifices made on the home front during the World Wars. 🌍

Join BHS as we delve into overlooked stories from our shared past, celebrating 250 years of American freedom. 🗽

Light refreshments will be served during the event. Admission is free! Please RSVP at www.baysidehistorical.org/events-1/home-front-and-front-lines-250-years-of-american-service. 🍵

Exhibit Availability: Beginning June 25th, the exhibit will be accessible to visitors Monday–Friday from 10:00 AM to 3:00 PM, with weekend hours added in July and August. 🗓️
