Living History at Queens Historical Society

Flushing, NY

July 19, 2025

We were invited by the Queens Historical Society to put on a Living History in support of their exhibition on the 15th New York State Militia a/k/a the Hamilton Rifles that was raised in the area. This was our first time at the QHS and also the debut event for a new recruit or 'Fresh Fish'. We took turns exploring the Kingsland Homestead house that was built in 1774. Please be patient with the background noise in the accompanying video. But that's what you get when performing in Queens.
