Review & FAQ:
The Bowne House Historical Society is housed inside of the historic Bowne House. Constructed by John Bowne back in 1661, it’s the oldest house in the neighborhood of Queens, as well as one of the oldest houses in New York City, built on land purchased from the area’s Matincock Indians. Visitors today can visit the historical home and learn about the Bowne family’s contributions to America, including John Bowne’s courageous life, pushing back against Governor Stuyvesant about religious freedom, as well as paving the way for the right in 1664 for the New York colony and more.
