<p>Caughnawaga Indian Village Site  is an archaeological site located just west of Fonda in Montgomery County, New York. It is the location of a 17th-century Mohawk nation village. One of the original Five Nations of the Iroquois League, or Haudenosaunee, the Mohawk lived west of Albany and occupied much of the Mohawk Valley. Other Iroquois nations were located west of them and south of the Great Lakes.</p><br>
<p>The Mohawk had trading relationships with French colonists coming south from Quebec, with Dutch based in Albany, and with the later English who took over Dutch territory. Under pressure from the French in the late 17th century, some Mohawk moved to other areas. Some who had converted to Catholicism relocated to mission villages near Montreal and to the west along the St. Lawrence River.</p><br>
<p>Because most of the Mohawk in the New York and Pennsylvania areas were allied with Great Britain during the American Revolutionary War, they were mostly forced out of New York when Britain ceded its territory in the colonies to the new United States. The Crown provided some land in compensation at what became the Six Nations Reserve of the Grand River, Ontario.</p><br>
<p>This former village site was discovered in 1950 by Rev. Thomas Grassmann. It is the only Mohawk village site in the country to have been completely excavated for archeological studies.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The Mohawk village site has been marked with stakes to show the outlines of the 12 longhouses and stockade that existed there 300 years ago. The entire site is open to the public. People may walk around the former village and see the foundations of the Caughnawaga longhouses and the layout. The site is on a hill. The archeological site was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1973. It is on the grounds of the Saint Kateri Tekakwitha National Shrine & Historic Site, a ministry dedicated to Kateri Tekakwitha, who was canonized in 2012 as the first Native North American saint in the Roman Catholic Church. Nearby on the Shrine grounds is the Mohawk-Caughnawaga Museum, which includes artifacts found at the dig site.</p><br>
<p>The name Caughnawaga is derived from the Mohawk word kahnawà:ke, meaning "place of the rapids", referring to the nearby rapids of the Mohawk River.</p><br>
<p>The site is also known as Indian Castle, or Gandaouage; or Kachnawage in Mohawk, meaning "castle" or "fortified place." This village with its defensive palisade was the Native American form of a castle. The site is on the north side of the Mohawk River and is also close to a natural spring.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Caughnawaga was occupied by the Mohawk from at least 1666 to 1693. French Jesuits established a mission there, which operated for about 10 years ranging from 1668 to 1679. They taught some of the Mohawk to read and write in French, as well as teaching them about Christianity. Historians now believe that the village known as "Caughnawaga" was located upstream at the "Fox Farm site" until 1679, at which time it moved to this location.</p><br>
<p>Archeologist Dean Snow estimates the village had a population of around 300 people. This was fewer than had lived at the Fox Farm site. By 1679 some Catholic Mohawk had migrated to a mission village, Kahnawake, south of Montreal along the St. Lawrence River. That village is now one of several Mohawk reserves in Canada.</p><br>
<p>The Caughnawaga site in New York is now a center for recreation and culture.</p><br>

<p>The Rapidan Dam Canal of the Rappahannock Navigation is a canal intended to safely carry Batteaus, sturdy flat-bottomed boats used primarily for transporting cargo, around the rapids at the confluence of the Rappahannock and Rapidan Rivers. The Rapidan Canal, funded and constructed by The Rappahannock Company, consists of two different canals  built at different times. All of the Rappahannock Navigation, of which the Rapidan Canal is a part, is located in the Piedmont region of Virginia. The Confluence, the name used on maps of the day and sometimes maps of today to denote where the two rivers meet, is located where the borders of the Virginia Counties of Spotsylvania, Stafford and Culpeper meet but is owned by the City of Fredericksburg, Virginia. The Rapidan Canal was listed on the Virginia Landmarks Register  on June 19, 1973, and on the National Register of Historic Places on July 26, 1973.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Construction of the original Rapidan Canal, sometimes referred to as the "Old Rapidan Canal," started on the north bank of the Rappahannock River in the 1830s, fell into disrepair during the mid- and late 1830s and was abandoned entirely in the 1840s when construction of the new canal on the south bank was complete and the new canal serviceable.</p><br>
<h3>The Rappahannock Company</h3><br>
<p>The history of the entire Rappahannock Navigation, of which the Rapidan Canal was a part, is really the story of the Rappahannock Company. Organized in 1816, The Rappahannock Company sought to build a navigable, 50-mile system of dams and locks on the Rappahannock River and the lower part of the Rapidan River to facilitate the movement of commercial goods between Fredericksburg and the furthest reaches of the navigation. Early investors were primarily Fredericksburg merchants and the Common Council of the Corporation of Fredericksburg (City of Fredericksburg) who wanted Fredericksburg&#39;s port to compete as a major shipping port. However, potential canal users on the upper reaches of the planned navigation were reluctant to invest or otherwise support the Company unless work had started on a stretch of canal that would serve their immediate interests.</p><br>
<p>The Rappahannock Company had started plans for the Rappahannock Navigation as early as 1816, "...but a national recession and the promoter&#39;s inability to raise funds delayed actual construction until early 1829" and only ten miles of the originally planned navigation were completed before the project was abandoned. However, beginning in 1845, the Rappahannock Company restarted the effort. Existing components of the Rappahannock Navigation, deteriorated from poor or nonexistent maintenance and damaged by floods and ice, were rebuilt or abandoned and the remainder of the originally planned 50-mile navigation was completed in 1849.</p><br>
<p>The Rappahannock Company failed in 1853 and the navigation was abandoned entirely by 1855 since it was no longer profitable, if it ever had been, and because of the encroachment of newer, faster, and cheaper rail transportation provided by the Orange and Alexandria Railroad. "...he company had no money left for maintenance or repairs, to say nothing of retiring the huge construction debt, which had reached nearly $450,000... the failing company was turned over to its largest stockholder, the Common Council of the Corporation of Fredericksburg, on July 1, 1852."</p><br>

<h3>Rapidan Dam</h3><br>
<p>The Rapidan Dam, the longest dam on the Rappahannock River, was made of wood and dammed both the Rappahannock River and the Rapidan River. Although the dam is in ruins parts of it are still visible. When the river is low, a line of pins driven into the river bed that anchored wooden timbers to bedrock are visible.</p><br>
<h3>Old Rapidan Canal</h3><br>
<p>The Old Rapidan Canal is the "... only canal remaining of the unsuccessful, abandoned effort to build the Rappahannock Navigation in the 1830s." Its guard lock was on the north side of the Rapidan Dam, and the canal was short with two locks near its end. The locks were a crib like construct made entirely of wood and filled with stone.</p><br>
<p>Original plans, recommended by the Virginia Board of Public Works, called for the canal to start on the south side of the Rapidan Dam (its final location) so that boats could safely access the canal. The engineers of the Rappahannock Company, determined to save costs, built the canal on the north side of the dam. Therefore, boats approaching from the Rapidan had to make a dangerous crossing above the dam.</p><br>
<p>"The other cost-cutting measure which was to plague the company was the use of wooden rather than stone locks - cheaper at first, but more costly in the long run as they decayed and required rebuilding."</p><br>
<h3>Rapidan Canal</h3><br>
<p>The Rapidan Canal was longer than the Old Rapidan Canal and included a series of five locks "The Rapidan Dam Canal parallels the Rappahannock River from the mouth of the Rapidan River for one and one half miles and then reenters the river through three locks.</p><br>
<p>The Virginia Landmarks Register, Calder Loth, Editor, The University Press of Virginia, p. 498, 1999. The Rapidan Canal began on the south side of the Rapidan Dam.</p><br>
<h3>Locks of the Rapidan Canal</h3><br>
<p>Locks of the Rappahannock Navigation are numbered from where the Rappahannock empties into the Chesapeake Bay and increase incrementally travelling upstream; guard locks are not numbered. Therefore, lock numbers of the Rapidan Canal range from six (the lowest lock) to nine (the most upstream lock), inclusive, with a guard lock at the upstream end of the canal. The table below contains more specific information about the particulars of each lock.</p><br>
<h4>Guard Lock</h4><br>
<p>The guard lock is situated at the upriver end of the canal at The Confluence. From the guard lock to Lock 9 was a tow embankment that closely paralleled the river. The tow embankment was protected by a long and massive stone wall, much of which is still visible today.</p><br>
<h4>Lock Nine</h4><br>
<p>Lock 9, the most well preserved of the Rapidan Canal locks, was built into a bluff and is the most unusual on the river because the north lock chamber is solid masonry.</p><br>
<p>Below lock 9 is a power-line right of way, which crosses the river at a right angle to the canal, incidentally affording a view of the site of the wooden locks that were the Old Rapidan Canal - perhaps the only place where the original canals of the 1830s have remained undisturbed and were not reconstructed in 1847. This part of the canal passes through the USA Gold Mine fields, and in fact there are two mine adits in the canal bed, leading into the hillside. These were apparently made after the demise of the canal. A few yards below the adits is the old road to the USA ford, and the sluice gate and the foundations of a mill.</p><br>

<p>The W. C. Clemmons Mound is a Native American mound in the south central portion of the USA state of Ohio. Located near the unincorporated community of Fox,</p><br>
<p>The mound is significant as a potential archaeological site. Although it has never been excavated, its location has led archaeologists to conclude that it was built by people of the Adena culture, who constructed many burial mounds for their leaders; typical Adena mounds contain log tombs that house the bodies of high-ranking members of society along with plentiful grave goods. Because the mound has never been excavated, it is exceedingly well preserved; perhaps no other mound in Pickaway County has been so little changed since the region was settled.</p><br>
<p>In 1974, the Clemmons mound was listed on the National Register of Historic Places, due to its archaeological value.</p><br>

<p>The Board of Education Building was added in 1983 to the National Register of Historic Places.</p><br>
<h2>Design</h2><br>
<p>The building&#39;s design was selected by jury. Its style is a combination of Art Deco and Classical Revival, commonly known as Moderne. It was part of an early revitalization scheme for the city that resulted in the building of the Benjamin Franklin Parkway.</p><br>
<p>Bas relief sculptures on educational themes are incorporated into the building. These were first sketched by the architect Irwin T. Catharine, then executed in plaster by Jules Melidon, before being sculpted by the stone cutters. Melidon reportedly was in Europe while they were being sculpted and installed, and sued Catharine and the Board of Education upon his return.</p><br>

<p>The Historic Ironwood Theatre is a theatre in Ironwood, Michigan, United States, offering a variety of live theatrical, musical, and artistic performances. The theatre is a non-profit entertainment establishment owned by the City of Ironwood and operated by Ironwood Theatre Inc., a non-profit organization led by volunteers who serve on the board of directors.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Constructed in 1928, one of three movie houses in Ironwood at the time, the theatre presented first run films and vaudeville shows. The first feature film shown was Wings (1927), starring Clara Bow, Charles Rogers, Richard Arlen, and Gary Cooper. Notably, the same film was shown at the unveiling of the rededicated Barton Organ with Dr. Steven Ball performing on September 18, 2010.</p><br>
<p>The theatre continued as a movie and vaudeville house under the direction of A.L. Pikar through the Golden Age of Hollywood of the 1930s, 40s, and 50s—the theatre flourished during these decades. Experiencing extreme financial difficulties in the late 70s, the theatre closed its doors in the spring of 1982.</p><br>
<p>In 1982, owner Thomas Renn gave the Ironwood Theatre to the City of Ironwood through the Downtown Ironwood Development Authority (DIDA). The theatre reopened in 1988 as a non-profit cultural organization featuring a wide range of programming. In 2010, the City of Ironwood purchased the adjacent Seaman building, which it renamed the City Centre. The purchase provided the theatre with "the concourse and additional space for an elevator, new restrooms, offices and even a catering kitchen." The City of Ironwood is developing plans to install handicapped bathroom facilities at the theatre.</p><br>
<h2>Design and architecture</h2><br>
<p>The theatre was designed by self-taught Ironwood architect Albert Nelson, and was constructed in 1928 at a cost of $160,000 (the equivalent of approximately $2 million today). The architecture was modeled after the Italian Renaissance style featuring hand-sculpted faux pillars and arched proscenium style stage. The building seated 1,000 when it opened, with 600 seats on the main floor and 400 seats on the balcony level.</p><br>
<p>Due to many restoration efforts and improvements of the theatre&#39;s design, many seats were removed to accommodate for added luxuries including a handicapped accessible area, light & sound booth, and concession stand. The theatre now seats 732—480 seats on the main floor and 252 seats in the balcony. The chairs found in the theatre today are exact replica replacements of the seats originally installed.</p><br>
<h2>The Barton organ</h2><br>
<p>The Barton organ, nicknamed "The Grand Old Lady", remains in place on its pedestal where it was installed in 1928. The historic theatre organ is a 2-manual, 7-rank, 499-pipe organ that is still completely playable. Restoration efforts on the organ began in 2000 under the direction of Dr. Tom Peacock. Volunteers were taught by experts on inspection and repair of the console, pipes, valves, and wiring. Virtually all organ components were inspected and cleaned, with replacements of all leather materials, which were in dire need of replacement. Much of the wire running from the switchboard to the console was replaced as required by electrical code—this included over 700 solder connections on the back of the console.</p><br>
<p>After countless hours of volunteer work and thousands of dollars from grants and donations, the Barton Organ console returned from the Carlton Smith Pipe Organ Restoration company in June 2010, completing the restoration of the infamous organ console. The instrument is now completely playable.</p><br>
<p>It was announced on Saturday, September 18, 2010, that the American Theatre Organ Society would like to open a chapter in Ironwood, Michigan. Plans to establish an Upper Peninsula chapter involve theatres across northern Michigan.</p><br>
<p>Of the roughly 250 pipe organs built by the Barton Organ Company, the Ironwood Theatre Barton is one of an estimated 40 that are still in their original homes, and is one of only six documented Bartons that are still playable. As of 2010, the Ironwood Theatre Organ is the most recently restored Barton.</p><br>
<h2>Events, performances, and productions</h2><br>
<p>The modern era of the theatre includes performances from Matt Giraud (2011), Jeff Daniels (2009), Duquesne University Tamburitzans, Robin and Linda Williams, Lake Superior Big Top Chautauqua, Pine Mountain Music Festival, Dr. Steven Ball, Andrew Rogers (2012, 2013), Heroes, Hounds of Finn, Ironwood Dance Company, Detroit Symphony Orchestra, Rodgers and Hammerstein&#39;s musical South Pacific, the musical Chicago, and many other local, regional, and national acts.</p><br>
<h3>H.I.T. Idol</h3><br>
<p>On Thursday, November 17, 2011, The Historic Ironwood Theatre Presents H.I.T. Idol showcased 41 finalists who sang solos in a style similar to American Idol, and six winners were selected to perform the following night as opening acts for 2008 American Idol finalist Matt Giraud. All of the finalists had an opportunity to sing backup vocals for two of Giraud&#39;s songs. In addition to the show focusing on the musical talent of local youth, H.I.T. Idol was a Historic Ironwood Theatre production, with volunteers overseeing all aspects of the show.</p><br>
<h2>Proscenium Mural</h2><br>
<p>The proscenium mural of the theatre displays a stunning three-piece canvas painting by artist William Hasenberg. This was painted during the finishing stages of construction in 1927 to complete the theatre&#39;s grand-scale look. During a renovation in 1973, the mural and surrounding ceiling were painted with dark blue and white paint. The repainting was thought to have destroyed the mural until restoration efforts by muralist David Strickland proved successful in removing the paint without destroying the underlying mural. The 1994 restoration project restored the mural to its original look. The mural, now perfectly restored, catches the eye of every guest who steps into the auditorium.</p><br>
<p>The H.W. Gates Funeral Home is a historical landmark in Kansas City, Kansas, United States, that is listed on the National Register of Historic Places .</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The building is located at 1901 Olathe Bouelevard and was established in the mid-1890s by Horatio W. and Mary Gates. That Gates family was among the first licensed embalmers in the state, and they built this Neoclassical-style funeral home in 1922 to house their growing business. Designed by Architect Fred S. Wilson in 1922, it served as the Gates family residence as well as their place of business. The -story building was built in the Neoclassical style. The Gates Funeral Home was run by three generations over almost 100 years in the Rosedale neighborhood of Kansas City.</p><br>
<p>The Crockett County Courthouse is a historic courthouse built in 1902 at 907 Ave D, Ozona, Texas, United States. The Second Empire style building was designed by Oscar Ruffini of San Angelo. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places on December 27, 1974.</p><br>
<p>Crockett County was organized in 1891 and named after Davy Crockett. The first courthouse was a wood-frame structure built in 1891. The building served the county until 1902 when the present hand cut native limestone courthouse and jail were built. The estimated cost of the courthouse was $30,000 paid for by bonds issued by the county. In its first few decades of existence, the two-story structure also served as a community center for social events and weekly dances.</p><br>
<p>Bracken Baptist Church  is a historic church on CR 1235 in Minerva, Kentucky.</p><br>
<p>The Bracken Baptist Church (structure), built circa 1840–1842, is an example of prostyle Greek Revival church architecture.</p><br>
<p>The Bracken County Church, established in June 1793 by the Rev.

<p>Prior to construction of the 1840 structure, the congregation encountered several periods of discord.

The church structure was sold in 1928 for $280 and was used as a tobacco barn for the next forty years. The Bracken Association re-acquired the deteriorating structure in 1981. Restoration began and the structure was added to the National Register in 1983.</p><br>
