<p>The Fairborn Theatre is a historic movie theater in the city of Fairborn, Ohio, United States. Built soon after World War II in an Air Force community, it has been named a historic site because of its aviation-themed architecture.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture</h2><br>
<p>Architects Lloyd Zeller and Herman Hunter designed the theater, which is built of brick on a concrete foundation and covered with an asphalt roof. Built by the C.W. Fry Construction Company, the theater features period aviation-related elements such as an interior painting of soldiers and aircraft of World War II. As an example of Streamline Moderne architecture, the theater includes elements such as streamlining and metal detailing. Its location along State Route 444 makes it an example of Fairborn&#39;s automobile-related commercial development.</p><br>
<h2>Preservation</h2><br>
<p>Chakeres Theatres operated the Fairborn Theatre from 1948 until the early 1970s, when it was temporarily closed to be remodelled into a two-screen operation. Following remodelling, the theater ran until January 2000, when Chakeres ceased operating it; the company retained ownership until 2002, when it donated the building to a Fairborn arts organization. Soon afterward, more than ten years of renovation began; carried on largely by volunteers with a small budget, renovations have included ridding the building of asbestos, roof maintenance, and removing the wall separating the two theater rooms to restore them to their original one-room format. Some of the estimated $5.5 million cost of restoring the theater was paid by the Ohio Department of Development, which in 2010 granted $48,000 American Recovery and Reinvestment Act money to the arts organization.</p><br>
<p>In 2005, the Fairborn Theatre was listed on the National Register of Historic Places, qualifying because of its historically significant architecture. It is one of three register-listed properties in Fairborn, along with the 1924 Bath Township Consolidated School and the 1799 Mercer Log House.</p><br>
<p>The McDonald Farm is a historic agricultural complex near the city of Xenia in Greene County, Ohio, United States. It has been named a historic site, largely because of a quarry on the farm, which supplied stone for the Washington Monument.</p><br>
<h2>Geology</h2><br>
<p>Much of Greene County is underlain by Dayton Limestone, a high-quality limestone whose type locality is in the city of Dayton in the adjacent Montgomery County. Farmers in Greene County supplied building stone for local needs through much of the nineteenth century, and by the late 1870s it was being exported to distant localities by the Dayton and Xenia Railroad. Wilford McDonald, who lived about 3.5 mi south of Xenia, after it was exposed by erosion from a nearby small stream. Quarrying revealed limestone deposits as deep as 8 ft in some places, much of it smoothed by glacial abrasion. The reputation of McDonalds quarry became more prominent than any other source of Greene County limestone; Eventually, McDonald became known as the supplier of one of Ohios best limestones. Quarrying continued until 1896, when the stream by the quarry flooded it, although a small amount of stone was quarried in the 1930s. Today, the quarry remains filled with water.</p><br>
<h2>Historic significance</h2><br>
<p>In 1849, each of the United States was asked to supply a block of stone for the construction of the Washington Monument. Because McDonalds quarry was known as one of Ohios best sources of limestone, state geologists decided to supply a block of McDonald stone, and a Xenia mason produced a block measuring 6 xx to be sent to Washington, D.C., where it was eventually placed in the monument&#39;s interior stairway.</p><br>
<p>In 1996, the McDonald Farm was listed on the National Register of Historic Places, by Margretta Lott Bodewell-Great-Great-Granddaughter of the original owner of the property, qualifying both because of the farm buildings architecture and because of the farms place in local history. The architecture of the farm buildings is mixed among multiple architectural styles, including a vernacular I-house and the formal Federal and Greek Revival styles. The historic portion of the farm comprises nine buildings and two sites over an area of 68 acre, which is designated a historic district.</p><br>

<p>Hopewell Friends Meeting House is an 18th-century Quaker meeting house located the northern Frederick County, Virginia one mile west of the community of Clear Brook at 604 Hopewell Road . Clear Brook, VA 22624. This community was the home of Thomas William "Tom" Fox , a Quaker peace activist, affiliated with Christian Peacemaker Teams  murdered in 2006 in Iraq.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<h3>Early history</h3><br>
<p>Hopewell Friends Meeting was named "Opeckan", after nearby Opequon Creek, when it was set off from the Concord (Pennsylvania) Quarterly Meeting in 1734. It is the oldest Quaker meeting in Virginias Shenandoah Valley. Some of the original group of settlers came from the Monocacy valley in Frederick County, Maryland, but most came from Chester County, Pennsylvania. "Alexander Ross hath proposed to this meeting on behalf of (f)friends (a)at Opeckon that a meeting for worship may be settled amongst them which is under y&#39;e consideration & care of this meeting until(l) a suitable time to give them a visit." This excerpt was taken from the Nottingham Monthly Meeting Minutes from the meeting of May 18, 1734. Initially, this meeting was a member of the Philadelphia Yearly Meeting. At that time, the settlement included about seventy families. Initially, a log meeting house was built on lands originally granted by Lt. Gov. William Gooch of Virginia to two Ulster Scots with roots in Northern Ireland, a Quaker named Alexander Ross (in 1730) and Morgan Bryan (a 1732 grant to this Presbyterian). Prominent London Quaker John Fothergill (1712-1780) visited this meeting in 1736. In 1757, the 1734 meeting house burned. In addition to losing its place of worship, the congregation also almost lost all its early records in a 1759 house fire.</p><br>
<h3>Current Meeting House Built</h3><br>
<p>Thomas McClun acted as builder for the original 33 feet x 44 feet coursed rubble limestone structure. Located at "the gate of the Shenandoah Valley", this meeting prospered and increased. From 1789 until 1794, the western 30 x 30 addition nearly doubled the size of Hopewell Meeting House. The National Register Nomination Form described the interior thus:</p><br>
<p>The interior of the meeting house consists of a large open space with a tiered gallery on the south and west walls. The balcony retains early benches with scrolled ends. Enclosed stairs, side by side, ascend from the center of the south wall. Large posts, some squared, some turned, support the gallery at various points. The main floor has early benches with open backs and some later, standard church-type benches. A platform with additional benches is against the north wall facing the congregation area. As might be expected the effect of the interior is exceedingly plain; the walls and ceiling are plastered and the openings are devoid of ornamental trim.</p><br>
<h3>The Great Separation and After</h3><br>
<p>Following the Great Separation of 1827, local Hicksite Quakers use one half of the meeting house and their Orthodox brethren the other. Both were buried in the nearby meeting house cemetery. In 1870, W. D. Lee built a limestone wall around the cemetery. Both sides contributed to repairing the structure in 1910 and this led to a healing of the schism. It is thought that the current roof lines date from this renovation.</p><br>
<h3>Subsequent History</h3><br>
<p>In 1934, Hopewell celebrated its bicentennial and in 1936 Hopewell Friends History, 1734-1934, Frederick County, Virginia: Records of Hopewell Monthly Meetings and Meetings Reporting to Hopewell; Two Hundred Years of History and Genealogy compiled from official records and published by a Joint Committee of Hopewell Friends, assisted by John W. Wayland was published. (It was reprinted in 1975 by Baltimores Genealogical Publishing Company.) Hopewell Meeting House was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on May 3, 1980. In 1999, Hopewell and Winchesters Centre meeting united to form the Hopewell Centre Monthly Meeting. It is a member of the Baltimore Yearly Meeting. In 2011, the Hopewell Centre Monthly Meeting reported 71 full members, 16 associate members, and 17 attenders for a total of 104 members, a decrease of five from the previous year&#39;s report.</p><br>

<p>Durward&#39;s Glen is a historic property located in the town of Caledonia, Columbia County, Wisconsin, northeast of the village of Merrimac. The land encompasses a ravine nestled between steep bluffs, part of the Baraboo Bluffs adjoining the Wisconsin River. Nature trails wind throughout the area.</p><br>
<p>The 40 acre property includes a church, a grotto, residences, a barn, an outdoor way of the cross, and religious statues, including the Guardian of the Glen statue near where Durwards daughter was born. A small cemetery contains the graves of the Durwards and several of their children. The Durwards original house burned in 1951.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>In 1862 the property became the home of Bernard Durward, a painter and poet, and his family. Durward had been born in Montrose, Scotland, emigrating to the United States in 1842, and finally settling in Wisconsin in 1845. Before moving to the glen, he was a painter in Milwaukee whose compositions included portraits and works with religious themes. Among his portraits were those of local notables, including Solomon Juneau, Byron Kilbourn, and Archbishop John Henni. It was while painting Henni that Durward became interested in Catholicism, converting in 1851. He then became the first teacher of English literature at St. Francis Seminary, where he taught for several years.</p><br>
<p>The Durwards discovered the site when they were visiting friends in the area. When they fell in love with the glen, they negotiated with the blacksmith who lived there to buy the land. The Durwards called their home "Auld Geordies", but later referred to it simply as "the glen".</p><br>
<p>The Durwards had six children, five sons and a daughter. Two sons became priests. While living in the glen, they engaged in various artistic endeavors. Mrs. Durward made lace, often for priests&#39; vestments. One son was a religious painter. To supplement their income, they also engaged in truck farming, selling their fruits and vegetables in local markets.</p><br>
<p>The Durwards constructed a house on top of a knoll on the property.</p><br>
<p>The Durward family sold the land to the Roman Catholic Order of St. Camillus in 1932. The order established a seminary on the land, where it trained priests beginning in the 1930s. The order&#39;s primary building was a 75-foot stone and log novitiate, built entirely by hand. The buildings were expanded in the 1960s to accommodate a conference and retreat center.</p><br>
<p>The glen was sold to The College of Saint Mary Magdalen in 2007, which owned the land for four years before selling it to Durward&#39;s Glen Our Lady of the Rosary Group. The group now uses the property as a retreat center, and for weddings and other group events.</p><br>
<p>The glen was added to the National Register of Historic Places on November 7, 1978.</p><br>
<p>Van Campen&#39;s Inn or Isaac Van Campen Inn is a fieldstone residence that was used as a yaugh house during the American colonial era. Located in Walpack Township, Sussex County, New Jersey along the Delaware River, it is a historic site located along the Old Mine Road in the Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area. It is operated under a memorandum of understanding between the National Park Service and the Walpack Historical Society, a local non-profit corporation.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The Rosenkrans family, a Dutch family from the Hudson Valley in New York, settled in the Minisink circa 1730. It acquired a large tract of land along the Shapanack Flats section of the Delaware River in 1742. Harmon Rosenkrans is believed to have built the first section of the house shortly after (most sources stated 1746). This section, the "kitchen wing" was located on the north end of the house.</p><br>
<p>In 1754, Rosenkrans sold the property and the small house to his brother-in-law Isaac Van Campen who had married Magdalena Rosenkrans. Van Campen built the larger, main section of the house. Today this later wing is the extant structure. The older "kitchen wing" was torn down in 1917.</p><br>
<p>The house was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1980 as a contributing property to the Old Mine Road Historic District. The National Park Service authorized a substantial restoration and reconstruction of the Van Campen Inn beginning in 1981. This restoration involved dismantling two-thirds of the front and side walls of the house, constructing new foundations, stabilizing the rear walls, and replacing interior wood structural beams. It was completed in 1984 by local stonemason Clarence Sharp (1923–2002).</p><br>
<p>While it is called an "inn", it is more accurately a "yaugh house"—a rural residence in a remote area that was licensed under colonial law to provide food and shelter to travellers. During the American Revolution, John Adams is said to have rested the night at Van Campen&#39;s Inn while travelling from Massachusetts to Philadelphia for the Continental Congress. According to the National Park Service, "In a December snowstorm in 1776, several regiments under General Horatio Gates marched south via Old Mine Road past this point and camped overnight on Shapanack Flats in front of Van Campen Inn. They then continued south to join General Washington in the Battle of Trenton." Brigadier General Pulaski, a Polish count, and his command of 250 cavalry soldiers wintered here in 1778.

<p>The Van Campen&#39;s Inn site had a Dutch colonial-style barn with characteristic large, "steep roofed" inward-swinging double doors, gable ends, smaller animal doors (one for horses, another for dairy cows). It was built across the road from the inn circa 1811 by Henry DeWitt and John H. DeWitt of Rochester, Ulster County NY, who purchased the property from Abraham Van Campen in 1811. This structure was destroyed by arson in the 1971.</p><br>
<p>The ruins of Fort Johns, a fortification built during the French & Indian War, is located on the nearby hillside overlooking the property. Fort Johns was the headquarters of the New Jersey Frontier Guard, and the largest of a series of a dozen forts built to defend frontier settlers along the Delaware River by New Jerseys colonial government during that war, which lasted 1754 to 1763. It was located at the terminus of Jonathan Hamptons Military Road built in 1755–1756 from the colonys capital Elizabethtown (now Elizabeth, New Jersey) to Morristown to supply the colonys fortifications in the Minisink. Today, the 1.6-mile long section of the Military Road traversing Walpack Ridge has been restored by the National Park Service as the "Military Trail" from Walpack Centre; it ends at the Old Mine Road a half-mile north of Van Campen&#39;s Inn. Driving between these two points on public roads requires a journey of ten miles.</p><br>

<p>The Ramey Mound, designated 15BH1, is an archaeological site in Bath County in the northeastern part of the USA state of Kentucky. Built by people of the prehistoric Adena culture, the site has been known for more than two centuries; it was recorded in 1807 as consisting of an enclosure at least 3 ft high. In 1871, another survey observed four mounds in association with the main earthwork: one was located just east of the enclosure, another directly to the west, a larger one to the southeast, and a small one to the southwest. The source of a nearby brook lies within the site and transverses the enclosure; the 1871 survey supposed that it had been dug to provide earth for the enclosure. By the time of this later survey, cultivation had reduced the earthwork to the point that it was nearly indistinguishable.</p><br>
<p>The Ramey Mound was also observed by the Kentucky Geological Survey under the direction of John Robert Procter, who marked numerous Bath County earthworks on his topographic maps of the county. By 1932, despite the damage of the plow, locals observed that it could still be distinguished from the surrounding terrain. The mounds name is shared with Emma Ramey, who owned it in 1932. In 1998, the mound was listed on the National Register of Historic Places because of its archaeological significance; it is Bath Countys only archaeological site on the Register.</p><br>
