PRESENTING OUR HISTORY


The Cherry Grove Archives Collection Committee have been working hard to find new and interactive ways to present our material and share the colorful history of our community.


We have showcased our material at various exhibitions around the country, posting weekly archival photos on social media, licensing our material to television and movie productions, sharing community history through profiles on events and people, as well as our Film Festival where we screen works about Cherry Grove and our LGBTQ+ community everywhere.


Explore our various Exhibitions, watch our library of films, checkout out our social media accounts, read profiles about Grove community members, find out about our annual Film Festival fundraiser and get information about licensing CGAC material.

Part of our mission to present the material in our Archives is to coordinate different exhibitions that help bring the history of Cherry Grove to life through imagery.


Whether we are displaying pieces in institutional spaces like Stonewall National Museum or creating displays at community events, our CGAC volunteers seek to educate and accentuate the importance of the Grove's history.

Our Facebook and Instagram pages are a great way to share images from the archive and engage our community members in helping us document the life of our special sanctuary.
Each week the Cherry Grove Archives Collection posts on Facebook one of our community's historical photographs, selected from the many thousands of images stored in our Archives.


From renters to residents, day trippers to the winter warriors- the people that inhabit Cherry Grove are what makes our hamlet so special. The parties and fundraisers, the committees and community shows, the house parties and adventures on the beach are what helped elevate our town from a fishing village to one of the most fashionable queer destinations in the world.


Our "Community Profiles" are a tribute to all those that have made their mark on the history of Cherry Grove.

The Cherry Grove Archives Collection Film Festival was established in 2015 as a cinematic celebration of Cherry Grove's proud 170-year history and that of other LGBTQ communities all around the world.


While this summer weekend event is a vital fundraiser for the Archives' operating and digitizing costs, our goal is to bring people together to both educate and celebrate our culture with a bounty of fabulous films.
