Not Just Roommates: Queer Historic Preservation

Queer and trans history can be found everywhere across the country and going back in time beyond the country’s founding. But excavating those stories and sharing them with the public has been largely a 21st century project with lots of work left to be done. Join us for a conversation with Ken Turino and Friends of the Longfellow House-Washington’s Headquarters Paterson Research Fellow Danielle Bennett to learn more about the past, present, and future of LGBTQ+ historic preservation work.

Join Longfellow House staff at 5:00 PM for a tour of the home’s queer history! Tour space is limited to 8 people; sign up using the event registration link.

The Longfellow Fall Lecture Series takes place annually and is free and open to the public. As we mark the 50th anniversary of Longfellow House-Washington’s Headquarters National Historic Site, this year’s series explores the site’s connections to art, scholarship, stewardship, and community.
