This March, we reflect on the history of the women affiliated with Bowne House & celebrate their contributions to social and activist causes.
From John’s radical Quaker wife, Hannah Feake, in the 17th century, to the “Parsons Sisters” who preserved the Bowne House and its legacy in the 20th, these women preachers, world travelers, philanthropists, social reformers, and preservationists made a significant difference in Flushing and beyond.
