Fascinating. Moving. Historic. Associated with the Flushing Remonstrance, one of our first great declarations of religious liberty. A rare piece of 17th century life in bustling Flushing, Queens.

Lots of history. Bowne was an Englishman who came to the United States for religious freedom in the 1600's . The Dutch were angry that he was holding religious services in his house in Flushing. They sent him to Holland for a trial. He was pronounced not guilty and was sent back to Flushing. He continued holding religious services in his house. You should check to make sure the house is open because renovations are going on. You could still tour the gardens and see the history of the house

One of the oldest homes in NYC. Built in 1661 by Englishman John Bowne who later became a Quaker. Great gem in Flushing Queens to bring the children or for architectural buffs to view this beautiful home.

I took my students here today for a field trip, and it was an absolutely wonderful experience! The educator and staff greeted us with such kindness, and they were so welcoming. Our educator, Emily, was full of knowledge and it was so engaging to watch and listen to her. My students enjoyed interacting with Emily, answering questions, and making connections to movies they have seen. This place is such a gem and there is so much to gain from your visit. The Bowne House is so rich with history, and I can't wait to learn even more on my next tour. I am definitely bringing my family and friends when they come to NYC. I'd give the Bowne House 10 stars if I could! It's well worth the visit!

Quaint house in built up urban environment.

Bowne House is the oldest house in Queens, New York, and is associated with the Flushing Remonstrance of 1657, the first protest movement for religious freedom and freedom of conscience in the Americas. John Bowne allowed Quakers, who were persecuted by Governor Stuyvesant, to worship in this house. Stuyvesant imprisoned and then deported Bowne, who weren't too the Netherlands and successfully appealed to the Dutch West India Company. The precedent for religious freedom was adopted by the British when they took over the colony and incorporated into the First Amendment when the United States was established. Bowne House is now a national landmark open for visitors on Wednesdays.

Great museum to learn about the history of New York.

Great tour. As a Bowne descendant, I found it fascinating. I'd love to go again!

Was für eine Offenbarung! Österreichischer Gamer spielt sich durch Fallout 4 > findet Monate nach Spielabschluss heraus, dass die im Spiel vorkommende "Underground Railroad" in und um das retrofuturistische, postapokalyptische Boston des Jahres 2287 so überhaupt nicht ein Produkt der Fiktion ist, sondern tatsächlich vor gut 200 Jahren existiert hat. Also in der Realität. Ein Schleusernetzwerk für Sklaven aus den Südstaaten > Google Suche diesbezüglich wird angestoßen, um mich diesem Thema während meines USA-Urlaubs auch zu widmen > unter den vorangereihten Suchergebnissen befindet sich das Bowne House, aufgrund dessen Unscheinförmigkeit klicke ich mich auf die Seite und recherchiere > Enttäuschung. Geöffnet ist das Bowne House nur an Mittwochen, ich hab' aber nur an einem Samstag Zeit, dieses "Museum" zu besuchen > Anfrage gestellt, ob es eventuell möglich wäre, diesen Ort an einem Samstag zu besuchen, rasche eine sehr liebe und konstruktive Antwort erhalten, dass meinem Wunsch tatsächlich nachgegangen wird > in New York dann rein in den Subway nach Queens zum Bowne House und was dann folgt entzieht sich jeder objektiven Beschreibung: Einzelführung trifft ausschweifende Gespräche, trifft herzlichste, engagierteste, bemühteste und auch humorvollste (ganz insbesonders meiner "botscharten" und "bloachen" Englischkenntnisse) Bowne-House-Crew. Allergrößte, allerpersönlichste Empfehlung von mir! Nicht nur für, aber auch eben für Fallout 4 Spieler! Neben ergreifenden Geschichten und Informationen rund um das Underground Railroad Netzwerk bin ich "angfüllt" mit allerlei anderen, durch und durch faszinierenden und bewegenden Fakten rund um das Bowne House, deren Bewohner und auch jetztige Erhalter versorgt worden! Vielen Dank bzw. ein steirisches "Daunksche & Vergeltsgott" noch einmal für die wirklich wundervolle Führung und Zeit dort! Freue mich schon jetzt auf ein Wiedersehen!

Great historic home and a Quaker home of brave abolishonists.

The Bowne home is Rich in history, accooiated with the underground railroad. AND. A few blocks From Main ST, Shopping and ethnic Foods.

I like this place very much. It's quiet and peaceful. I live nearby, and I will often come here for a short time to enjoy the scenery!

Beautiful and historic home. One of the hidden treasures of New York City. If ever in Flushing, Queens then this is someplace that one should go and visit.

Interesting landmark with surprisingly impactful history. Check out the amazing trees.

Kids learnt alot and really enjoyed seeing what life was like in the 1600s.

Love this little Part. Peaceful and Bliss. Nice time to go around the spring / Summer time to see the leaves in fully

Mildly interesting. Historic rhetoric. It's ok if you know nothing about the borough.
