Мемориал Штойбена

Историческое место Штата «Мемориал Штойбена» (англ. Steuben Memorial State Historic Site) — парк штата, посвящённый Фридриху Штойбену и расположенный в восточной части одноимённого города, на Старр-Хилл-роад в округе Онайда, штат Нью-Йорк, США. История Парк назван в честь уроженца Пруссии барона Фридриха фон Штойбена, прозванного «инструктором по строевой подготовке американской революции» за его услуги, оказанные в 1777 году Бенджамину Франклину и Джорджу Вашингтону по подготовке армии США в Велли-Фордж, где он преобразил голодных оборванцев в эффективную боевую силу. После войны за независимость, Конгресс США предоставил Штойбену пожизненную ренту на большой участок земли размером в 16 тысяч акров в штате Нью-Йорк, где он построил двухкомнатный бревенчатый дом, в котором проводил каждое лето до своей смерти в 1794 году. Хоть в своем завещании Штойбен просил похоронить себя в безымянной могиле, в 1804 году его останки были перенесены на место, которое в настоящее время зовётся «Священной рощей». В 1870 году на могиле был заложен простой, но монументальный памятник, открытый в 1870 году. На бронзовой табличке на валуне у памятника выбита надпись — «Необходим для Достижения Американской Независимости». В 1930 году губернатор штата Нью-Йорк Франклин Рузвельт учредил и принял участие в открытии парка штата под названием «Мемориальный парк Штойбена». В 1937 году была открыта заново отстроенная из сруба точная копия дома Штойбена, обставленная некоторыми из его вещей и колониальной мебелью. 21 августа 2009 года мемориал был включён в Национальный реестр исторических мест под номером 09000635. Расположение Мемориал Штойбену находится на Старр-Хилл-роуд в восточной части города Стюбен, примерно в 2,5 милях к западу от шоссе 12/28, у города Ремсен к северу от Ютики в округе Онайда, штат Нью-Йорк. В настоящее время собственником мемориала является Управление штата Нью-Йорк по паркам, отдыху и историческому наследию, предлагающий его посетителям экскурсию по «Священной роще», посещение мемориальной могилы и воссозданной хижины Штойбена, а также сувенирный магазин и места для пикника с видом на долину могавков.

Stony Brook State Park

Stony Brook State Park is a 568-acre (2.30 km2) state park located in Steuben County, New York. It is located south of Dansville, Livingston County, New York Dansville, Steuben County, New York on New York State Route 36. History Stony Brook became a summer tourist spot in the late 19th century, following the construction of a railroad in 1883. The resort fell into decline by the 1920s. New York state resurrected the area by buying the land and establishing the state park in 1928. Stony Brook was enhanced in the 1930s by improvements constructed by the Civilian Conservation Corps and the Works Progress Administration. The footprint of these government programs is evident throughout the park in the form of hiking paths, bridges, picnic areas, and buildings. Park description and facilities The signature attraction of the park is the eponymous brook, which is an example of small, post-glacial streams in the Finger Lakes area. The small creeks and brooks in this area cut through the Great Lakes-area escarpments following retreat of the ice age glaciers, creating deep, narrow gorges, with many waterfalls, which are uncommonly accessible. Initially 250 acres (1.0 km2), the park is now 568 acres (2.30 km2). It offers two stream-fed swimming pools, picnic tables and pavilions, a playground, a nature trail, hiking, fishing and bow-hunting (deer), a campground with tent and trailer sites, and cross-country skiing. The park has an upper and lower entrance, connected only by Route 36 and trails. As do some other parks in the region, such as Fillmore Glen State Park, Robert H. Treman State Park, and Buttermilk Falls State Park, the park features a semi-natural swimming pool, created by a small dam constructed in the lower reaches of the stream.

Stony Point Battlefield

Stony Point Battlefield is a historic site in Rockland County, New York; the location of the 1779 Battle of Stony Point during the American Revolutionary War. It is a National Historic Landmark and has a museum. History The site was purchased and preserved in the late 1890s, and opened to the public in 1902. A flying stunt was flown during the July 16, 1929 sesquicentennial of the Stony Point Battlefield, in front of a crowd of over 8,000 dignitaries. A number of traditional military units were on display, including the US Horse Artillery, the First Troop, Philadelphia City Cavalry and various infantry army and National Guard units. In comparison to these 18th and 19th century horse and foot-transportation methods, "A modern feature was the flying over the battlefield during the exercises, of an airplane piloted by Mrs. Opal Kunz, who dropped an American flag." "During the ceremonies, Mrs. Kunz flew alone from the Newark, NJ Airport, in her airplane, the 'Betsy Ross' over Stony Point, and from an altitude of 1,000 feet dropped several hundred small American flags, and also a larger one, weighted, which fell upon the battlefield." A museum was built on the site in 1936, and in the 1940s the Palisades Interstate Park Commission took over administration of the battlefield and began to acquire more of the surrounding area. It was declared a National Historic Landmark in 1961. The Stony Point Battlefield along with DeWint House in Tappan and Blauvelt House in New City are the only places in Rockland County designated as New York State "Paths through History" sites. By the 1980s, the park encompassed all public land on the peninsula, including the historic Stony Point Lighthouse, built in 1826. The site is now operated as Stony Point Battlefield State Historic Site, and includes the museum with exhibits about the battle and the lighthouse. The park offers interpretive programs including 18th century military life, cannon and musket firings, cooking demonstrations, nature walks, guided tours of the battlefield, and children's activities. Artist Lee Woodward Zeigler worked for the Federal Emergency Relief Administration (FERA) and painted two murals c.1936 at the Stony Point Battlefield museum in Stony Point, New York, one of which features George Washington and Anthony Wayne planning their attack from nearby Buckberg Mountain. The park is open Wednesday through Saturday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., and Sundays from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. It is accessible from U.S. Route 9W just north of the Village of Stony Point.

Stony Point Light

The Stony Point Light is the oldest lighthouse on the Hudson River. It is located at the Stony Point Battlefield in Stony Point, New York. The lighthouse was built in 1826 by Thomas Phillips, to warn ships away from the rocks of the Stony Point peninsula. The completion of the Erie Canal the previous year, which linked New York City to America's heartland, increased traffic on the Hudson River dramatically, and the need for navigational aids was paramount. Its design is an octagonal pyramid, made entirely of stone. In service for nearly 100 years, the lighthouse had a series of keepers, most notably the Rose family. The Rose home is also on the Historic Register. The lighthouse was decommissioned in 1925 and was acquired by the parks commission in 1941. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1979. Through the efforts of the Stony Point Battlefield State Historic Site, the Palisades Park Interstate Commission, and NYS Office of Parks, Recreation, and Historic Preservation, restoration of the lighthouse began in 1986. The exterior was repaired and painted and the lantern was reglazed. On October 7, 1995, restoration was complete, and the light was activated for the first time in 70 years. The automatic light, operated by solar power, beams a flash of light once every four seconds. It is open to the public. Stony Point Light is shown on the NOAA Chart 12343 References External links Media related to Stony Point Light at Wikimedia Commons Stony Point Light on the World List of Lights Stony Point Lighthouse - from Lighthousefriends.com National Park Service entry Stony Point Battlefield and Lighthouse Website

Stoothoff–Baxter–Kouwenhaven House

Stoothoff–Baxter–Kouwenhaven House is a historic home located in Flatlands, Brooklyn, New York City. It is currently located at 1640 East 48th Street in Brooklyn. History The original section was built in 1747 and the larger main portion dates to 1811. A kitchen wing was added in 1880. It is one and one half stories with steeply pitched gable roofs, curved projecting eaves, and end chimneys. The main entrance features a Dutch door. It was relocated in approximately 1900 to align with the new street grid. One source states that the house "has actually been moved twice, probably by horse-drawn wagons. John Baxter describes the 1811 move in his diary". The house was designated as a New York City Landmark in 1976, and was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982. Residents The house is named after a series of families who lived in it, from the time of its construction up until the 1920s. Its initial construction is believed to have been completed by an ancestor of Garret Stoothoff. The addition in 1811 was constructed by John Baxter, who married Garret Stoothoff's daughter and inherited the home in 1796. Baxter's ghost is rumoured to haunt the house. William Kouwenhoven married Abigail Baxter, daughter of John, and the house passed into that family's name.

Storm King State Park

Storm King State Park is a 1,972-acre (7.98 km2) state park in Orange County, New York. The park is in the southeast part of the Town of Cornwall, next to the Hudson River. A central feature of the park is Storm King Mountain. History New York physician Ernest Stillman donated the park's initial 800 acres (3.2 km2) to the Palisades Interstate Park Commission in 1922, hoping to protect land surrounding the Storm King Highway. The park has since grown to its current 1,972-acre (7.98 km2) size through additional donations and purchases of land. The park was the focus of preservation efforts in the early 1960s after a proposal by Consolidated Edison to build a hydro-electric power plant on the property. The Scenic Hudson Preservation Conference was formed by citizens opposed to the project, and the proposal was eventually dropped following a 17-year battle to preserve the park's natural state. A 1999 forest fire at the park caused the detonation of unexploded ordnance that had been fired over 100 years prior by a cannon manufacturer across the river. Additional unexploded shells were also discovered that likely originated from a nearby West Point artillery range. After the fire was put out, the park remained closed to hikers for three years as remaining explosives were located and removed. Description Storm King State Park is undeveloped except for limited parking and trails. The park offers hiking and seasonal deer hunting. Several named trails are included within the park, which features Storm King Mountain as a central feature. The park's forests are part of the Northeastern coastal forests ecoregion.

Straus Park

Straus Park is a small landscaped park on the Upper West Side of Manhattan, at the intersection of Broadway, West End Avenue, and 106th Street. The most notable feature is a bronze 1913 statue by American artist Augustus Lukeman of a nymph gazing over a calm expanse of water in memory of Ida and Isidor Straus, husband and wife, he a United States congressman and co-owner of Macy's, who died together on RMS Titanic. The model for the statue was Audrey Munson. On the memorial is carved a passage from Second Samuel 1:23, "Lovely and pleasant were they in their lives and in their death they were not parted." The passage refers to Ida's choice to stay with her beloved husband, Isidor, rather than get safely into a lifeboat. The Strauses lived in a house at 2747 Broadway, between 105th and 106th Streets, one block south of the location of the memorial. The park exists on a small triangle of land at the intersection of Broadway and West End Avenue. It was known as Schuyler Square when acquired by the city in 1895 and was renamed Bloomingdale Square in 1907. Between 1995 and 1997, Straus Park was renovated and expanded to the west, by the addition of 15 feet of West End Avenue. An endowment established by the Straus family funded the transformation of a neglected reflecting pool in front of the sculpture into a planting bed. The Friends of Straus Park fund maintenance and the planting of seasonal flowers. In popular culture Straus Park is mentioned in André Aciman's essay "Shadow Cities" (The New York Review of Books, December 18, 1997) and novel Eight White Nights (2011). Straus Park is the title of a novel by Belgian author Paul Baeten Gronda, published in 2013.

Straus Park

Lo Straus Park è un piccolo parco paesaggistico situato nell'Upper West Side di Manhattan, all'incrocio tra Broadway, West End Avenue e la 106th Street. L'elemento più notevole del parco è una statua bronzea del 1913 realizzata dall'artista statunitense Augustus Lukeman, raffigurante una ninfa che osserva una calma distesa d'acqua in memoria di Ida e Isidor Straus, marito e moglie; lui era membro del Congresso degli Stati Uniti e co-proprietario dei Macy's, ed entrambi morirono insieme sul Titanic. La modella della statua fu Audrey Munson. Sul memoriale è inciso un passo del Secondo libro di Samuele 1:23: «Amabili e cari furono nella loro vita, e nella morte non furono separati». Il passo si riferisce alla scelta di Ida di rimanere accanto all'amato marito Isidor invece di mettersi in salvo su una scialuppa di salvataggio. Gli Straus vivevano in una casa al numero 2747 di Broadway, tra la 105th e la 106th Street, un isolato a sud del memoriale. Il parco occupa un piccolo triangolo di terreno all'intersezione tra Broadway e West End Avenue. Quando fu acquisito dalla città nel 1895 era conosciuto come Schuyler Square e nel 1907 venne rinominato Bloomingdale Square. Tra il 1995 e il 1997 Straus Park fu restaurato e ampliato verso ovest grazie all'aggiunta di circa 15 piedi di West End Avenue. Un fondo istituito dalla famiglia Straus finanziò la trasformazione della vasca riflettente situata davanti alla scultura, allora trascurata, in un'aiuola. I Friends of Straus Park finanziano tuttora la manutenzione e la piantumazione di fiori stagionali. Nella cultura di massa Straus Park è menzionato nel saggio Shadow Cities di André Aciman (The New York Review of Books, 18 dicembre 1997) e nel romanzo Eight White Nights (2011). Straus Park è anche il titolo di un romanzo dello scrittore belga Paul Baeten Gronda, pubblicato nel 2013.

Штраус-парк

Штраус-парк — небольшой пейзажный парк, расположенный в Верхнем Вест-Сайде на Манхэттене, на пересечении Бродвея, Уэст-Энд-авеню и 106-й улицы. Парк был разбит в 1895 году. Сначала он носил название Шуйлер-сквер (англ. Schuyler Square). В 1907 году парк был переименован в Блумингдейл-сквер по некогда находившемуся здесь голландскому поселению Блумендал (нид. Bloemendael). Центром композиции является бронзовая статуя нимфы, смотрящей на спокойную гладь воды. Эта статуя американского скульптора Генри Августа Лукмана была установлена в 1913 году в память об Иде и Исидоре Штраусах, погибших в крушении «Титаника». Прототипом для скульптора послужила модель и актриса Одри Мэнсон. На памятнике высечен отрывок из Второй книги Царств: «Любезные и согласные в жизни своей, не разлучились и в смерти своей». В данном случае речь идёт о решении Иды Штраус остаться с мужем на корабле, вместо того чтобы сесть в шлюпку. К югу от парка на пересечении 105-й и 106-й улиц располагается дом, в котором жили супруги. В 1995—97 годы парк был реконструирован и расширен. В настоящее время обслуживанием парка и посадкой цветов занимается «Фонд друзей Штраус-парка». Примечания Ссылки Audrey Munson website (англ.) Friends of Straus Park (англ.)
