With temporary exhibits running the gamut from prehistorical finds to photographs documenting local African-American experiences, this historical society presents artifacts of interest to the Queens community. The society also hosts art shows, crafts fairs and seasonal activities on its grounds. The society's residence, constructed in 1887 by the Army Corps of Engineers, is a fine example of castellated gothic revival architecture.
