Bowne House

Flushing, Queens · Free

1Interesting
Another historic house, but a fun Swarthmore connection: founded by a Quaker (or Quaker-adjacent) and most of the family archives ended up at Swat. Staff has been trying, unsuccessfully, to get them back, and may need to send people down to digitize what Swat hasn't yet.

Preserved 17th-century Anglo-Dutch home displaying early American artifacts offering group tours.
