Wills Mountain State Park

Wills Mountain State Park is a Maryland state park on Wills Mountain overlooking the Cumberland Narrows in Allegany County, Maryland. The park occupies 470 acres (190 ha) on the northwest edge of the City of Cumberland. It is under the control of the Maryland Department of Natural Resources. History From 1899 until 1930, Wills Mountain was the site of the Wills Mountain Inn, a mansion featuring 46 bedrooms with private baths and a grand ballroom that was initially used as a fraternal clubhouse and informal country club. In 1902, the property was sold to Dr. Henry Fry for conversion to a sanatorium. The property burned down in 1930. In 1952, the Maryland State Planning Commission encouraged the state to create an historic preserve on Wills Mountain through the purchase of 400 acres, the improvement of a private road that ascended to the summit, and development of picnicking and sightseeing facilities to take advantage of the natural beauty of the overlook. The park was created in 1998 when the state purchased 350 acres from Carl G. Valentine for $160,000, and George and Joan Henderson donated another 51 acres. The 2009 Maryland Land Preservation, Parks and Recreation Plan described the parcel as "virtually inaccessible" and "sensitive" with "no uses ... official or informal." The state began purchasing adjoining parcels in 2017 with the intention of creating public access to the site. An additional purchase of 48 acres was made in 2024. References
Wilson's Bridge

Wilson's Bridge is a bridge near Hagerstown, Washington County, Maryland, United States.

Woman's Industrial Exchange

Woman's Industrial Exchange is a historic building located at 333 North Charles Street, Baltimore, Maryland, United States. It consists of a townhouse erected in 1815, with a large, five-story structure appended to the rear. The building was purchased in 1860 by Mrs. Mary E. Boardley for a boarding house, and she added the rear wing. The Exchange purchased the building in 1889. A shop window was added circa 1900, which enhances the fine Flemish bond brickwork and marble stoop. The mixed-use building houses the shop and offices of The Woman's Industrial Exchange, two restaurants, and seven residential apartments. The organization The Woman's Industrial Exchange of Baltimore City was a non-profit organization that was founded in 1880, incorporated in 1882, and continues to serve the same mission of providing local people the opportunity to earn income by selling handmade items to the public. The Woman's Industrial Exchange began shortly after the Civil War in the home of Mrs. G. Harmon Brown of Baltimore, where women brought their handwork to be sold to local citizens and visitors. Mrs. Harmon's endeavor was part of a nationwide Exchange Movement to help women in need discreetly earn a living. In 1880 the enterprise was so successful that a shop was opened at Saratoga and Holiday Streets. In 1882 the State Legislature incorporated the organization "for the purpose of endeavoring by sympathy and practical aid to encourage and help needy women to help themselves by procurring for them and establishing a sales room for the sale of Women's Work." In the late 1800s The Exchange sold women's handwork, operated a Tea Room and gave instructions in needlework and cooking. Consignors provided quality handmade items to be sold in the shop. The Exchange continues to serve its non-profit mission as an outlet of hand-crafted goods made by women and men intent on supporting themselves with dignity. The Woman's Industrial Exchange building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1978. It is included in the Baltimore National Heritage Area. The Woman's Industrial Exchange officially ceased operations on June 15, 2020.

Woodmoor, Maryland

Woodmoor is a neighborhood in the northern section of Silver Spring, Maryland in southeastern Montgomery County, in the U.S. state of Maryland. Its borders extend from U.S. 29 to the west, Northwest Branch Park to the north, the Capital Beltway (I-95) to the east, and University Boulevard to the south. It lies on one of the "Four Corners" at the northeastern corner of the intersection of Colesville Road (U.S. 29), and University Boulevard (Maryland 193). History The first houses in the neighborhood were built in the late 1930s. In the 1950s, a kosher deli/restaurant and bakery opened in Four Corners called "Sid Mandell's Restaurant & Deli", owned by Sidney "Sid" Mandell, the son of Jewish immigrants from Austria and Russia. The deli was a popular cultural icon and was open seven days a week. After Jewish residents began leaving Four Corners, the owner retired and the deli was closed in 1980. The building where the deli used to be is now occupied by Righttime Medical Care, an urgent care center. Until the passage of the Fair Housing Act of 1968, as in most American suburbs in the early 20th Century, racially restrictive covenants were used in Woodmoor to prevent African-Americans and other people of color from living in the neighborhood. In 2020, residents of Woodmoor and activists were working to remove racist language from property records "deed by deed". Culture Winding streets and lots of old trees distinguish this neighborhood. Pinecrest Elementary School lies in the neighborhood, and Montgomery Blair High School is just steps across University Boulevard. Highlights of the year are the community Christmas tree lighting and the Menorah, a local Oktoberfest, the annual Pride Parade, and the music festival WOODMOORstock, which began in 2022. Transportation Washington Metro service is available on the Red Line at the nearby Wheaton and Silver Spring stations. Woodmoor is served by Metrobus numbers Z6, Z8, C2, and C4, as well as Ride On number 9. The Piney Branch Road station of the Purple Line will be built in nearby Long Branch at the intersection of University Boulevard and Piney Branch Road and is expected to be open to the public by 2022. The neighborhood also has the dubious distinction of being serviced by the "Sorriest Bus Stop in America", according to a survey performed by Streetsblog. The bus stop is located at the intersection of Route 29 and Crestmoor Drive. References

Woodstock College

Das Woodstock College war eine jesuitische Hochschule in Woodstock bei Baltimore, Maryland, USA. Sie war das älteste Kolleg der Jesuiten in den Vereinigten Staaten. 1969 ging das Kolleg eine Kooperation ein mit dem Union Theological Seminary in the City of New York und dem Jewish Theological Seminary, beide in New York City. 1974 wurde die Hochschule geschlossen und ging auf in dem Woodstock Theological Center an der Georgetown University in Washington, D.C.
Woodstock College

Woodstock College was a seminary that existed from 1869 to 1974. It was the oldest Jesuit seminary in the United States. The school was located in Woodstock, Maryland, west of Baltimore, from its establishment until 1969, when it moved to New York City, where it operated in cooperation with the Union Theological Seminary and the Jewish Theological Seminary. The school closed in 1974. It was succeeded by the Woodstock Theological Center, an independent, nonprofit Catholic research institute located at Georgetown University in Washington, D.C. History After unsuccessful efforts to establish a divinity school in Boston, New York, and Washington D.C., 249 acres were purchased in Woodstock in 1866, where construction of Woodstock College soon followed. The college was originally located along the Patapsco River in Woodstock, Maryland, west of Baltimore. It incorporated in 1867, and opened on September 22, 1869. At the time, the college was the only Jesuit seminary in the United States and was intended to be where the majority of all American Jesuit priests would be trained in the future. In the 1960s, the college began considering affiliating with an urban university. The argument to move the school into a city and place it in affiliation with a broader network of institutions of higher learning received decisive support from the newest ideas of theological education and priestly formation emerging from the Second Vatican Council and the Jesuits' own Thirty-First General Congregation. New Haven, Washington D.C., and New York City were considered for the college's relocation. In consequence, the college closed its original campus and moved to New York City in 1969 where it operated in cooperation with the Union Theological Seminary and the Jewish Theological Seminary. Controversies over the merits of the move into the city, specific controversies arising over the lifestyle of the Jesuits in training in New York, and a general desire of the order to consolidate its theology schools nationally led to the school's closure in 1974. It was succeeded until 2013 by the Woodstock Theological Center, an independent, nonprofit Catholic research institute located at Georgetown University in Washington, D.C. The theological library retains its independence through an affiliation with the library at Georgetown University, where it is still housed. Campus The original campus buildings in Woodstock, Maryland are now used as a Job Corps Center, while the campus grounds are part of Patapsco Valley State Park.

Domače govedo

Domače govedo (znanstveno ime Bos taurus), ki ga pogovorno imenujemo krave, so udomačeni sodoprsti kopitarji iz poddružine Bovinae družine Bovidae. Po svetu je najbolj razširjen rod Bos. Vzgajajo jih kot živino za meso (imenovano govedina in teletina), mleko in mlečne izdelke, usnje in kot vprežne živali (vleka vozov, plugov ipd). V nekaterih državah, npr. v Indiji, so krave svete in čaščene živali. Danes naj bi na svetu živelo okrog 1,4 milijarde glav goveda. Govedo se običajno vzreja kot živina za meso (goveje ali telečje meso), za mleko (glej krave mlekarice) in za kože, ki se uporabljajo za izdelavo usnja. Uporabljajo se kot vlečne živali (voli, ki vlečejo vozove, pluge in druga orodja). Drug izdelek goveda je kravjek, ki se lahko uporabi za ustvarjanje gnoja ali goriva. Govedo, večinoma majhne pasme, kot je miniaturni zebu, se uporablja tudi kot hišni ljubljenček. Terminologija Kráva je odrasla samica goveda. Samec je bík, skopljen pa vôl. Mladiču pravimo tele; teliček (moškega spola) oziroma telička (ženskega). Pasme Glede na uporabo ločimo mesnate, mlečne in kombinirane pasme. Nekatere bolj znane pasme so: Lisasto, kombinirano Cikasto govedo, kombinirano, avtohtona slovenska pasma Črno-belo (Holstein-Frizijska), mlečna Dexter, kombinirana pasma Belgijsko belo-plavo, mesna Charolais, mesna Limusin, mesna Dexter, mesna Višavsko škotsko Rjavo, mlečna Aberdeen-Angus Boškarin, istrska avtohtona dolgoroga pasma Piedmontese, italijanska avtohtona višavska pasma Pasemske bolezni Pritlikavost pri Angus govedu ( nesmiselna mutacija ) Sklici

Mount Auburn Cemetery is a historic African American cemetery and national historic district in Baltimore, Maryland, United States. Overlooking the Middle Branch of the Patapsco River to the east, Baltimore's Downtown to the north and railroad tracks to the south, Mt. Auburn Cemetery is surrounded by the Cherry Hill, Westport, Mt. Winans and Lakeland communities. History One of the most historic and largest African American cemeteries in Baltimore, Mt. Auburn Cemetery was formed in 1872, by the Reverend James Peck in protest of segregation against the White Methodist Church. Its grounds encompass 34 acres (140,000 m2) and holds more than 55,000 interred. Designated on the local and national historic registers, the cemetery was once known as "The City of the Dead for Colored People" since it was the only place a person of color could be buried. Once part of a farm, the land was given to the Methodist Church and assigned to the Sharp Street Memorial United Methodist Church to oversee its grounds. Over the years the cemetery has fallen into total neglect with only a portion of its front acreage remaining identifiable as a cemetery. Mt. Auburn Cemetery holds the remains of some of Baltimore's and the nation's "movers and shakers" of the local civil rights movement. In addition to runaway slaves, the cemetery contains the remains of the first African American ship chandler; clergymen; the first female funeral home director, Civil War and civil rights activists, lawyers, doctors, teachers, military veterans, founders of national fraternities’ and sororities’ and the ancestors of thousands of African-American families. Mount Auburn Cemetery was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2001. Notable interments Joe Gans (1874-1910), boxing's first African American World Champion (1901-1908).
