Description
What’s the Queerest House in your Neighborhood? Join The History Project and Hilary Iris Lowe of Temple University and Nicole Mello of the Longfellow House – Washington’s Headquarters National Historic site for a presentation on house museums and a case study of the interpretation of LGBTQ+ history over the last 200 years.
Lowe and Mello will discuss the histories that can be found in the archives at the poet’s house, now a historic site managed by the National Park Service. The talk will span generations, from minister Samuel Longfellow and preservationist Alice Longfellow to the home’s first socialist and queer curator, Harry Dana (Henry Wadsworth Longfellow Dana).
