Every spring Stonewall Farm in Keene, NH. invites the public to witness the morning when the cows are released to pasture after a long winter in the barn. For one brief moment the girls prance, jump and butt heads. The "Dancing of the Ladies" is special because in a short moment the cows resume their usual semicomatose mode of grazing.

The Stonewall Inn was the scene of important events that sparked the modern struggle for the civil rights of gay and lesbian Americans. In a pattern of raids and harassment of gay establishments, the New York City police raided the Stonewall Inn on the early morning of June 28, 1969. The reaction of the bar’s patrons and of the neighborhood crowd that assembled in the street was not typical of such raids, however. Instead of quietly dispersing, as police had come to expect, the crowd rioted as arrests of employees and patrons of the Stonewall Inn were made. This raid and the riot that ensued led to demonstrations and conflicts with the police outside the Stonewall Inn, in Christopher Park, and along neighboring streets until July 3, 1969. The nominated site includes the former bar, the park, and the streets where the events occurred. Stonewall is regarded by many as the single most important event that led to the modern gay and lesbian liberation movement. The Stonewall uprising was, as historian Lillian Faderman has written, “the shot heard round the world…crucial because it sounded the rally for the movement.”
Stonewall National Monument is a 7.7-acre U.S. National Monument located in the West Village neighborhood of Greenwich Village in Lower Manhattan, New York City.
The Stonewall Building, aka the American Life Building, was built in 1940 or 1926 depending on who you ask. It has been abandoned for around 30 years.
Another archive shot from this past winter. The statue of Confederate General Thomas J "Stonewall" Jackson looks over the cemetery named in his honor. The bodies of Jackson, 143 other Civil War veterans and two Virginia Governors are resting here. Fascinating place!
I just finished Volume One of Shelby Foote's Civil War trilogy. The most comprehensive coverage of this defining event in our country's history. Wandering around Lexington,Va on Saturday with all this fresh in mind made the cold much more bearable. The Stonewall Jackson Cemetery has so much stuff to look at, names dates and short stories.... just very cool!

The Virginia monument, foreground, with the Monument to the Unknown at the rear. The Virginia monument cost $1,500 when it was erected in the 1879. The monument is a marble obelisk topped by a funeral urn. Winchester was the scene of three major battles, and it changed hands 72 times. Both Confederate Lt. Gen. Thomas Jonathan "Stonewall" Jackson and Federal Gen. Philip Sheridan made their headquarters at Winchester during different periods in the Valley Campaign. Sheridan employed scorched earth tactics in that campaign that failed to differentiate between civilian and military targets, proudly remarking that "If a crow wants to fly down the Shenandoah, he must carry his provisions with him," after his troops indiscriminately burned farmers' crops and stores and slaughtered their livestock. He went on to use similar tactics in the Indian Wars in the West, where, he said, "If a village is attacked and women and children killed, the responsibility is not with the soldiers but with the people whose crimes necessitated the attack."
Thomas Jonathan "Stonewall" Jackson, the Confederate general during the Battle of Manassas, is honored with a monument that says, "There Stands Jackson Like a Stone Wall."

New York, N.Y. – After more than two years of building strong public support in the community, across the nation and in Congress, National Parks Conservation Association (NPCA) celebrates President Obama’s historic designation of Stonewall National Monument, the first national park site dedicated to lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) history. To coincide with national LGBT Pride Month, and just a few days before the 47th anniversary of the Stonewall uprising, President Obama today officially designated the area surrounding Stonewall Inn and Christopher Park in New York City’s Greenwich Village as our 412th national park site.

Originally constructed between 1843 and 1846 as stables, the property functioned as a tearoom during the Prohibition-era, named Bonnie's Stone Wall. It was later converted into a restaurant called Bonnie's Stonewall Inn. The name was later changed to Stonewall Inn Restaurant. It remained a restaurant until the interior was gutted by a fire in the mid-1960s.
The Stonewall Inn at 51 Christopher (and formerly the next-door building) was the scene of events that began the modern struggle for the civil rights of lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) Americans. New York City police raided the Stonewall Inn in the early hours of Saturday, June 28, 1969. Instead of dispersing, the crowd became increasingly angry and began chanting and throwing objects as the police arrested the bar's employees and patrons. Reinforcements were called in by the police, and for several hours they tried to clear the streets. The initial raid and the riot that ensued led to six days of demonstrations and conflicts with law enforcement outside the bar, in nearby Christopher Park, and along neighboring streets. The Stonewall Inn and Christopher Park have been designated national monuments.

Stonewall Kitchen was showing off its new line of antibacterial gels and lotions. Pictured here are grapefruit thyme and Lemon Parsley. I'm fussy about scents, but these were very light and airy. I've noticed the latest trend is expanding from food items in the health and beauty category.
