Lefferts Historic House is an 18th-century Flatbush farmhouse and New York City landmark, jointly operated by Prospect Park Alliance and the Historic House Trust. The museum features a working garden, historic artifacts, and indoor and outdoor exhibits, allowing visitors to explore stories of resistance and resilience by the Indigenous people of Lenapehoking and Africans enslaved by the Lefferts. Through hands-on experiences, cultural performances, and imaginative play, Lefferts Historic House aims to engage the public in thoughtful dialogue about the ongoing legacies of dispossession and enslavement in Brooklyn and beyond. The ReImagine Lefferts Initiative, funded through a Humanities in Place grant from the Mellon Foundation, focuses on developing programming centered around these stories to promote understanding and awareness of diverse communities today.Generated from the website
