The interpretive plan for the Lefferts Historic House in Prospect Park will explore the lives, resistance, and resilience of the Africans enslaved by the Lefferts family and the indigenous people of Lenapehoking.
The plan includes outdoor exhibits curated by representatives from nations across the Lenape diaspora and a Dikenga Cosmogram honoring the ancient wisdom Africans brought with them.
The plan also features public art, healing gardens, a Freedom-Seeker wall, and spaces for events that emphasize the inspirational resilience of descendant communities today.
Prospect Park Alliance will continue to seek guidance from descendant communities to inform the future of the house through various events and engagements.
