In front of the Harrison County Courthouse in downtown Clarksburg, West Virginia. General Thomas J. "Stonewall" Jackson was born in Clarksburg on January 21, 1824.
In the summer of 1861, enthusiastic volunteers in colorful uniforms gathered to fight the first major land battle of the war. Confident that their foes would turn and run, neither side anticipated the smoke, din and death of battle. Nearly one year later, both sides met again on the same battlefield with the Confederates winning a solid victory bringing them to the height of their power.
Once used to protect orchards in Rancho Olompali, this stone wall doesn't really serve for much other than a nice framing for photographs. It's now part of the Olompali state park, the original settlers here were from the Miwok tribe which named their village, Olompali, which roughly translated, means Southern village.
This pair of images was taken just north of Aspermont in Stonewall County and shows a bridge in serious need of repair work. About a half mile after turning east onto North 2nd Street in Aspermont, the road turns left (north) becoming county road 1263. It then runs straight north for about 6 miles... crosses Stinking Creek, and in another 1.5 miles reaches the Salt Fork Brazos River. This is one of my favorite areas to hike and walk along the river when it's low, hunting for sun bleached animal skulls, shooting photos along the way. We were here in late June and stopped to look around, the extreme heat (108 degrees at the time), ruling out hiking anywhere, but I did grab a few photos from this highway bridge. Walking back to the truck I noticed a half dozen areas where the concrete of the bridge deck had crumbled and fallen away revealing rusted rebar. I took a few phone pix, the one on the left with a bit of asphalt patch faces northwest, the other (right), faces southeast. CR1263 parallels state highway 83, about two miles to its east, and joins SH 83 about 1.5 miles above the point where it crosses the same river. Because this major highway carries most traffic and 1263 handles only local stuff, the bridge might not be high on the state's "infrastructure" upgrading list. Maybe maintenance of 1263 and its Salt Fork Brazos River Bridge is a county responsibility. If the bridge was demolished, there would still be CR 1263 access to all back land adjacent to it, because of the junction with SH 83 at either end. I've seen large trucks cross this crumbling bridge and can't help wondering if someday it might drop into the river, just like the derelict steel truss bridge 100 yards upstream from this one. Maybe I'm overly cautious, but if I'm on the bridge and I hear a large truck coming, I walk off the closest end... always with my camera ready.

Parbold Hall seen over the meadow from a public footpath.
A family called Lathom owned the house at Parbold from the 13th to the mid 17th century. It was then purchased from them some time before 1680 by John Crisp, This building-probably of mid-17th-century date to judge from its detailing-was refenestrated (The design and placement of windows in a building.) and subsumed (include under rule or class) within the present building by his grandson, Thomas Crisp. He effectively created a second L-shaped block of two storeys that interlocked with the existing fabric. The result is a building that has the external appearance of a fine Palladian structure-its regularity dependent on many dummy windows.

A portion of artist Kara Walker's reconstruction of an equestrian statue of Confederate Gen. Stonewall Jackson, now on display as part of a "Monuments" show in Los Angeles. The Jackson statue, erected in Charlottesville, VA, a hundred years ago, was at the center of protests, including the infamous and deadly "Unite the Right" rally in 2017. The statue came down in 2021.

The Stonewall riots (also referred to as the Stonewall uprising or the Stonewall rebellion) were a series of spontaneous, violent demonstrations by members of the gay (LGBT) community[note 1] against a police raid that took place in the early morning hours of June 28, 1969, at the Stonewall Inn in the Greenwich Village neighborhood of Manhattan, New York City. They are widely considered to constitute the most important event leading to the gay liberation movement[1][2][3][4] and the modern fight for LGBT rights in the United States.[5][6]

Removal of transgender and queer references from NPS website:
Protests on a sign at the Stonewall National Movement after the removal of references to transgender people on the Monument's website.
Originally, the U.S. National Park Service (NPS) website for the monument discussed the transgender and queer communities. After U.S. president Donald Trump signed Executive Order 14168 in 2025, mandating that the federal government and federally funded entities cease any promotion of "gender ideology", all references to transgender and queer people were removed from the website.[43] The news was first reported on February 13, 2025. --Wikipedia
