Kingsland Homestead

Kingsland Homestead sits on a tree-lined block in Flushing. Built in the 18th century, it’s one of the few remaining Dutch colonial houses in New York City. Beneath its pale clapboard and steep gable roof, history is preserved in quiet exhibits that recall Queens during the colonial era and the early Republic.

At 143–35 37th Ave, visitors step into a pocket of the past. This former farmhouse is now a museum of local heritage, open to curious minds and small visitors. Children explore hands-on displays while adults wander original rooms with fireplaces and wide floorboards.

Need a keepsake? The gift shop stocks postcards and local publications near the door. Curious callers should note: (718) 939-0647 connects directly to the front desk for up-to-date details on current shows and field trips.
