Hosted at Lewis Latimer House, located at 34-41 137th St., Flushing, NY 11354.
Join us for Mapping Queens: Stewards of Historic Houses & Heritage Sites, a conversation spotlighting the people and organizations dedicated to preserving Queens' rich cultural history and heritage.
Presented through the Queens Cultural Mapping Initiative, this panel will bring together cultural leaders and stewards of historic houses and heritage sites from across the borough to explore how these spaces preserve local histories, celebrate diverse cultural identities, and serve as vibrant centers for arts, education, and community engagement.
Panelists will share the stories behind their historic sites, the challenges of preservation and sustainability, and the ways they are reimagining these spaces to engage new generations and keep Queens' cultural heritage alive. The conversation will be followed by an audience Q&A and community mixer.
Drinks and light refreshments will be available.
