Thomas Harrison House (Harrisonburg, Virginia)

Thomas Harrison House is a historic home located at Harrisonburg, Virginia. It was built between 1790 and 1800 and is a 1½-story, two bay by one bay, coursed limestone vernacular dwelling. It has a gable roof and was built over a spring, which is accessible in the basement. It is the oldest house in Harrisonburg and its namesake is regarded as the town's founder. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1973. Until 2018, it was believed that the building was built around 1750 by Thomas Harrison, however recent studies determined it was built after 1790. In 2018, the City of Harrisonburg partnered with the Margaret Grattan Weaver Institute of Regional Culture at Bridgewater College to restore the building. Led by James Madison University professor Carole Nash, the research term determined the structure was actually built no earlier than 1790, after Thomas Harrison died; subsequently, the team concluded that Harrison neither built nor ever lived in the structure that shares his name.

Thomas Jefferson Természettudományi és Műszaki Középiskola

A Thomas Jefferson Természettudományi és Műszaki Középiskola (angolul Thomas Jefferson High School for Science and Technology) regionális beiskolázású állami középiskola a virginiai Fairfax megye Alexandria nevű részében, az Egyesült Államokban. Az intézmény négyosztályos: a tanulók a 9–12. osztályokba járnak (tipikusan 15-18 korúak). Évfolyamonként mintegy 450 diák tanul itt. Az iskola 2021-ben első helyen végzett a U.S. News and World Report és az RTI International 24 000 amerikai állami középiskolát felölelő rangsorában. Fenntartó Az iskola fenntartója a Fairfax County Public Schools, amely Fairfax megye állami iskoláinak kezelő intézménye. Az iskolába azonban nem csak Fairfax megyéből hanem a szomszédos Loudoun és Arlington megyékből, valamint Alexandria megyei jogú városból is járnak diákok, és a fenntartás költségeiből ezek a közigazgatási egységek is kiveszik a részüket. Az iskola Fairfax megyében helyezkedik el. Iskolavezetés, tanári kar Az iskola igazgatója Michael Mukai. Az iskolának mintegy 180 oktatója van, tehát nagyjából tíz diákra jut egy tanár. Érdekesség, hogy a tantestület két tagja (Gábor Péter matematika-számítástechnika szakos tanár és Oszkó Szilvia némettanár) magyar származású. Diákok A 2017-18-as tanévben az iskolának 1786 diákja volt. A tanulóknak mintegy 40 százaléka lány. A diákok származását tekintve 68% ázsiai, 21% fehér, 5% indián, alaszkai vagy csendes-óceáni bennszülött, 2% afroamerikai, további 2% latin-amerikai származású, a többiek pedig egynél több kategóriába tartozónak tekintik magukat. A családok anyagi helyzetére jellemző, hogy a tanulók mindössze 2 százaléka jogosult ingyenes vagy csökkentett árú iskolai ebédre.

Tidewater Community College

Tidewater Community College (TCC) is a public community college in South Hampton Roads, Virginia, with campuses in Chesapeake, Norfolk, Portsmouth, Suffolk, and Virginia Beach. It is part of the Virginia Community College System and is accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Colleges to award the associate degree. History The school was founded in 1968, when a local philanthropist, Fred W. Beazley, closed the existing Frederick College and deeded the land to the Commonwealth of Virginia for the creation of Tidewater Community College. With the support of Hampton Roads' municipalities, TCC quickly expanded to Virginia Beach and Chesapeake, and in the 1990s, it helped revitalize downtown Norfolk by establishing a campus in former department store buildings. In 2010, the Portsmouth campus relocated to a new site within the city. In 2003 TCC signed an agreement with Norfolk State University that allows students to transfer from one to another. In 2017, Tidewater Community College (Virginia Beach and Norfolk campuses) entered into an agreement with Virginia Wesleyan University on the "Tidewater Promise," a parallel concurrent enrollment program that permits students to take advantage of most services and resources on the VWU campus while enrolled as associate degree students at TCC. The program enables students to guarantee tuition costs for four years and to complete a four-year bachelor's degree less expensively than attending a state university. Edna V. Baehre-Kolovani took office as the college's fifth president in July 2012. She succeeded Deborah M. DiCroce, who had served for 14 years. In early 2018, the college's faculty voted "no confidence" in Baehre-Kolovani as enrollments declined and the college announced another round of layoffs (following layoffs in 2017). Tidewater Community College's mascot is Storm and the school colors are royal blue and white. Literary festival and journal Tidewater Community College publishes an annual literary journal called the Channel Marker. Submissions are accepted in the fall semester and the publication is released in the spring (usually April) in conjunction with TCC's Annual Literary Festival.

Benjamin Tonsler Park (Charlottesville)

Benjamin Tonsler Park is a park in Charlottesville, Virginia. It was the location of Balloon 3 in the 2009 DARPA Network Challenge. Benjamin Tonsler Benjamin Tonsler was one of Charlottesville's most prominent African American citizens. Very little is known of his early life. He was born April 2, 1854, in Albemarle County. In later years his descendants came to believe that a member of a family for whom he worked taught him to read and write, which was illegal at the time. Whatever the circumstance of his early life, Mr. Tonsler went on to become a noted teacher, principal and citizen. He was educated at Hampton University and returned to Charlottesville to teach at the Jefferson Graded School, which at that time was the only school available to African Americans. He taught for several years and then assumed the position of principal, which he held for almost thirty years. His students remembered him as a stern disciplinarian who took huge risks to further their education. Under the segregated laws of the time it was illegal to educate African American students past eighth grade. Mr. Tonsler had his older students stay after school to study more advanced texts with the understanding that the books were to be hidden whenever the white Superintendent appeared for an inspection. In this secretive manner many students were able to complete coursework that prepared them to enter college. Mr. Tonsler was a close friend of Booker T. Washington whom he met while in college, and Mr. Washington stayed at his home on his way to Tuskegee to assume the presidency of the Tuskegee Institute (now Tuskegee University). Mr. Tonsler's home was located not far from the park which now bears his name: Tonsler Park, which the city created in 1946. Benjamin Tonsler died on March 6, 1917, at age 63 after a short illness. He is buried at Oakwood Cemetery next to his wife, Fannie Gildersleeve Tonsler. References City of Charlottesville, Va Parks & Recreation
Town Point Park

Town Point Park is a 7-acre (2.8 ha) waterfront city park on the Elizabeth River in Norfolk, Virginia, USA. The park hosts major outdoor concerts, award-winning festivals and special events each year to include Norfolk Harborfest, Bayou Boogaloo, and 4 July Celebrations. Norfolk Festevents programs Town Point Park on behalf of the City of Norfolk. Located in the park are The Homecoming and the Armed Forces Memorial.

Tredegar Iron Works

Tredegar Iron Works — металлургический завод в Ричмонде, штат Вирджиния, США. Открыт в 1837 году и к 1860 году уже был третьим по величине металлургическим заводом в США. Во время гражданской войны завод был главным поставщиком металла и артиллерии для Конфедерации. Завод избежал разрушения во время эвакуации Ричмонда в 1865 году и продолжил работу в конце XIX века и в первой половине XX века, во время обеих мировых войн. В настоящее время завод является музеем, здесь расположен офис национального парка «Richmond National Battlefield Park». История Основание В 1836 году группа бизнесменов из Ричмонда во главе с Фрэнсисом Дином решила воспользоваться массовым строительством железных дорог в США; они наняли Риса Дэвиса, молодого инженера, а также некоторое количество металлургов из уэлльского города Тредегар. Новый завод был назван в честь города Тредегар, где уже с начала века существовали аналогичные заводы. Завод был открыт в 1837 году, сразу же столкнулся с проблемами ввиду экономического кризиса 1837 года. В результате столкновений с рабочими в 1838 году погиб Рис Дэвис. Завод при Андерсоне В 1841 году владельцы завода передали его под управление 28-летнего инженера Джозефа Рида Андерсона, который оказался способным менеджером. К 1848 оду он стал совладельцем завода, который вскоре стал выполнять заказы федерального правительства. Андерсон также начал использовать труд рабов, чтобы снизить себестоимость продукции. К 1861 году почти половина из 900 рабочих была рабами — иногда даже на уровне мастеров. В 1860 году Роберт Арчер, родственник Андерсона, присоединился к этому бизнесу и завод стал одним из крупнейших производителей металла в стране. Примечания Ссылки Сайт музея Краткая история фабрики
Triangle Diner

The Triangle Diner is an American diner in Winchester, Virginia. It was built in 1948 by the Jerry O'Mahony Diner Company of Elizabeth, New Jersey. It is one of the best preserved classic diners in America, with close to 100% of the original features still intact. Key features include elaborate stainless steel ornamentation on the exterior, rounded interior ceiling with hidden lighting cove on all sides, a counter with stools and booths for patron seating, and terrazzo concrete floor. O'Mahony was a significant and prolific diner manufacturing company and set high standards for diner construction quality and craftsmanship. O'Mahony's work served as an inspiration for other diner manufacturers throughout the 1940s and 1950s. The Triangle Diner is an example of "Moderne architectural features" that are representative of the stainless steel prefabricated diners of the post–World War II era. The entire diner building – approximately 43 by 16 feet – was built at the O'Mahony Diner Company factory in New Jersey and once fully complete was then transported by train nearly 300 miles to Winchester, Virginia. It has been at the same intersection in Winchester since it first arrived, more than 60 years ago. Diners of this design somewhat resemble and are often confused with railroad cars removed from their wheels. The Triangle Diner was listed on the National Register of Historic Places by the U.S. Department of the Interior on March 31, 2010, and was added to the Virginia Landmarks Register on December 17, 2009. The building is currently closed pending the completion of a comprehensive restoration that stalled out in 2014. The Triangle Diner is the older of only two stainless steel O’Mahony diners in Virginia. Of the more than 2,000 O'Mahony diners once built, only a few dozen still remain nationwide. Country music legend Patsy Cline worked at the diner for three years after dropping out of high school to help support her mother and siblings.

Institut militaire de Virginie

L'Institut militaire de Virginie (Virginia Military Institute, VMI) est la plus vieille université militaire financée par des fonds publics aux États-Unis. Elle est l'un des six collèges et académies nationales qui forment des officiers dans le pays. Les étudiants sont tous des cadets qui doivent suivre un régime militaire, dont le curriculum du Reserve Officers and Training Corps. Son campus se trouve à Lexington (Virginie). On y forme des officiers dans quatorze domaines des sciences, du génie et des arts libéraux. On la surnomme le West Point du Sud mais, contrairement à cette dernière, les étudiants ne sont pas obligés de servir dans les forces armées après leur formation, mais y sont habilités. Histoire Le 11 novembre 1839, le VMI est créé dans les locaux de l’arsenal de Lexington. Les premiers cadets ont remplacé les soldats sous la direction du major-général Francis Henney Smith et du colonel Claudius Crozet. Depuis ce temps, un cadet tient la garde de l’entrée vingt-quatre heures par jour. Le premier à ce poste a été John Strange. La première promotion, de 16 cadets, est sortie diplômée en 1842. En 1850, de nouvelles casernes ont été inaugurées pour remplacer le vieil arsenal. En 1851, Thomas Stonewall Jackson, qui se rendra célèbre durant la Guerre de Sécession, est nommé professeur de philosophie naturelle au VMI. Des unités d’infanterie et d’artillerie du VMI sont présentes lors de l’exécution de John Brown l’abolitionniste à Charles Town en 1859. Durant la Guerre de Sécession, de nombreux diplômés du VMI s'engagent dans les rangs confédérés (comme Moses Ezekiel). Les cadets ont constitué des troupes et ont participé à quatorze batailles en tant qu’unité constituée. Le 12 juin 1864, les forces de l’Union, sous le commandement du général David Hunter, bombardent le campus du VMI, réduisant les bâtiments en ruine. Les classes sont temporairement données au Alms House de Richmond (Virginie). En avril 1865, les cadets sont renvoyés chez eux quand la chute de Petersburg survient et que la ville est évacuée. Les cours reprennent à Lexington en octobre 1865. Le VMI a formé un grand nombre d'officiers des forces armées américaines au cours de son histoire. Plusieurs de ceux-ci ont participé à la Première et Seconde Guerre mondiale. L'un des plus connus est George C. Marshall, conseiller en chef du président Roosevelt durant la guerre et auteur du plan Marshall après celle-ci. Un autre est le général George Patton, libérateur de Bastogne lors de la bataille des Ardennes.

Virginia Military Institute

Virginia Military Institute (VMI) – założona w 1839 roku akademia wojskowa położona w mieście Lexington w stanie Wirginia. Jest to najstarszy w Ameryce college stricte wojskowy – wszyscy uczęszczający do niego studenci są kadetami. Generał John Pershing nazwał VMI "West Pointem Południa". Kadeci i absolwenci VMI odegrali ważną rolę podczas wojny secesyjnej. Absolwenci VMI byli uznawani za najlepszych oficerów Południa, kilku z nich wyróżniło się w siłach Unii. W armii Konfederatów piętnastu absolwentów awansowało do stopnia generała. Trzecia część oficerów polowych w pułkach Wirginii w 1861 była absolwentami VMI. Z 1902 uczniów uczęszczających do VMI 1781 walczyło dla Południa. VMI była uczelnią wyłącznie męską aż do 1997 roku kiedy to sąd zadecydował, że szkoła, która jest utrzymywana z budżetu stanowego, nie może dyskryminować czy wykluczać potencjalnych studentów ze względu na ich płeć. W odróżnieniu od innych szkół wojskowych, w których stosowane są inne standardy i regulaminy dla mężczyzn i kobiet w VMI obowiązuje tylko jeden, bardzo wymagający regulamin sprawności fizycznej.
