Bayside Historical Society invites you to join us for the opening of our newest exhibit, which showcases the significance of Bayside's evolution alongside the enduring legacy of the Bell family. This exhibit explores the neighborhood's intriguing development from its origins as "Bay Side," situated east of Flushing, through maps, family trees, and artifacts.

Exhibit Highlights:

• Explore everyday life and personal expression at the turn of the 20th century through the Bell family's intimate artifacts and keepsakes.
