Stonewall National Monument includes Christopher Park, the Stonewall Inn, and the surrounding streets where the 1969 Stonewall Uprising unfolded. Before you visit—or while you’re here—use these free resources to explore the monument and the LGBTQ+ history of Greenwich Village.
Start at Christopher Park
Begin your visit at Christopher Park, the historic green space at the heart of Stonewall National Monument. Explore the gardens, see George Segal’s Gay Liberation sculptures, and stand in a place that served as a gathering point before, during, and after the 1969 Stonewall Uprising.
