About

The Greater Astoria Historical Society, chartered in 1985, is a non-profit organization supported by the Long Island City community. We are dedicated to preserving our past and using it to promote our community's future. The Society hosts field trips, walking tours, slide presentations, and guest lectures to schools and the public.

Regular meetings are usually held the first Monday of the month at 7:00 PM in Quinn's Gallery, 35-20 Broadway, Long Island City.
