Stonewall National Monument, National monument in Greenwich Village, United States
Stonewall National Monument is a 7.7-acre site in the West Village that includes the Stonewall Inn, Christopher Park, and neighboring streets. The area combines historic buildings, open plazas, and public sculptures that together form a monument to equal rights.
The area served as a gathering place for the LGBT community for decades, providing refuge from discrimination. A 1969 police action at the Stonewall Inn sparked resistance and protests that launched a movement for equal rights.
The place serves as a gathering spot where visitors encounter symbols of resistance and solidarity displayed in the open streets. The statues and park spaces reflect stories of people who stood up for their freedom.
The grounds are free and open daily from 9 AM until dusk, inviting visitors to walk through the public spaces at their own pace. Restaurants, cafés, and parking are nearby, with no admission tickets required.
Since 2017, an official rainbow flag is raised and maintained at the site, serving as a visible symbol of recognition. This marked the first time the US government displayed this symbol permanently at a national monument.
