  A quiet oasis in the midst of a bustling commercial district, the Flushing meetinghouse is the oldest house of worship in New York. This historic landmark symbolizes both the vitality of the 1657 Flushing Remonstrance -- in which the citizens of the original Dutch colony protested the persecution of religious minorities -- and the contemporary diversity of faiths from around the world that have now made a home in Flushing. The unique medieval architecture and 300+ year-old oak building materials, make a visit and tour of this remarkable gem a must for any curious visitor to New York.
