Stonewall National Monument

In 2016, the site of the 1969 Stonewall riots was designated as the Stonewall National Monument, becoming the first national monument in the United States dedicated to LGBTQ+ history. Located in Greenwich Village, New York City, the monument includes Christopher Park and the Stonewall Inn. Visitors can explore the area to learn about the pivotal events that sparked the modern LGBTQ+ rights movement and pay respects to the courageous individuals who stood up for their rights. The park and inn serve as a tangible link to this significant chapter in the struggle for civil rights.
