Stonewall National Monument
Heritage · New York, NY
About
Just steps from the Stonewall Inn in the West Village, the Stonewall National Monument occupies Christopher Park. It was the first U.S. national monument dedicated to LGBTQ+ rights, designated by President Barack Obama in 2016. The park commemorates the 1969 Stonewall uprising, a pivotal moment in the gay rights movement. There's not much to see here beyond the small park and its sculptures, including the Gay Liberation Monument. But the historical weight is immense. You'll find plenty of local visitors and tourists alike, often passing through on their way to nearby sites like the NYC AIDS Memorial . Hours are consistent daily from 7am to 5pm. To fully appreciate the site's context, consider visiting the Stonewall National Monument Visitor Center just across the street.
