Programs

Join us at Common Roots Albany Outpost for a special History & Hops program in honor of Pride Month! On this exciting evening, Ashley Hopkins-Benton, Senior Historian and Curator of Social History at the New York State Museum, will share hidden queer stories from the museum’s collections, shedding light on the contributions of LGBTQ+ New Yorkers. 

Ashley will take us on a journey through history, uncovering the lives and legacies of queer individuals who shaped the fabric of our state and beyond. From the Stonewall Uprising to the ongoing fight for visibility and equality, these untold stories highlight the resilience and activism of the LGBTQ+ community. It’s the perfect mix of history, conversation, and community! 

This fun, interactive program is free to attend. Food and drink are not included, but are available for individual purchase at the venue.
