  • Remembering Yesterday: Queens and Its World’s Fairs

    Kingsland Homestead 143-35 37th Avenue , Queens, NY, United States

    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.

    Open Tuesdays, Saturdays and Sundays, 2:30 – 4:30 pm. Through May 31, 2015.
