Join us in the parking lot across from the 103rd Precinct in Jamaica for a fun FREE family event. King Manor will be making “stained glass” leaf ornaments, but there’s plenty more to do — trick or treating with family while checking out some very cool cars, plus other vendors.

All are welcomed to this FREE family fun event. Costumes preferred but are not mandatory. Prizes for best costumes. Safe social distancing space for trunk or treating. Masks will be provided to anyone without.

Tickets Limited!

August 5th is National Underwear Day, so lets prepare together by sewing our own historic undies! Join us on Zoom to learn about what people in the 19th century were wearing beneath all those layers, take a look at items from the Manor's collection, and follow along with a sewing tutorial to make historic undies you can actually wear! Ages 12+.

This workshop is part of our Making History series.

$5 per person

Need supplies? For an additional fee, we'll mail a kit with all the supplies you need straight to your door. $20 per kit (shipping included). Kits only available until July 21st! Includes: Cut fabric (one size fits most), needle, and thread.

Join us online again for a second live crafting event, this time from Cornelia King’s late-Victorian world!

Participants will learn to make a variety of different kinds of Victorian paper flowers to turn into a garden bouquet or garland, using whatever they already have at home to participate. The program will include a live interactive, family friendly question and answer with a historian and educator on 19th century handicrafts and social culture.

Presented by the Queens Public Library through their Culture Pass Programs! Suitable for ages 10+
