Ever taken a wrong turn on an Oklahoma backroad and stumbled across a tiny, random concrete block with barred windows? You might have just found a calaboose—one of the forgotten, turn-of-the-century neighborhood holding pens used before counties centralized their jail systems. In this episode of the Only in OK Show, we are diving deep into Oklahoma's weird history and roadside attractions to highlight six of the coolest, creepiest, and most abandoned tiny jails scattered across the state. From DIY community projects to structures older than Oklahoma statehood itself, these tiny structures have some massive history. On Today's Itinerary: Butler Jail (Butler, OK): A 1930s ghost-town aesthetic DIY project built with solid 8-inch concrete walls for just $400. Leedey Jail (Leedey, OK): A 1916 structure with a heavy, rusty red bank-vault door that feels straight out of a gritty Western film set. Grandfield Jail (Grandfield, OK): Architectural luxury in the middle of nowhere, featuring a distinctive barrel-vaulted roof and two whole cells. Eufaula Jail (Eufaula, OK): The pre-statehood "maximum-security mega-structure" of calabooses built in 1902. Wayne Jail (Wayne, OK): Hidden down an alleyway off Main Street, this 1910 single-cell holding pen was the ultimate "timeout chair" for local troublemakers. Cottonwood Grove Jail (Verden, OK): The ultimate historic success story! A beautifully preserved 1905 two-cell jail listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Next time you're road-tripping down an Oklahoma highway or exploring a local historic Main Street, don't just stop for antique shops—keep your eyes peeled for a random concrete box with bars!

Hoving Home will reroute, widen waterway The Philipstown Conservation Board determined on Tuesday (June 10) that there would be no significant environmental impacts if the Hoving Home removes a dam and reroutes a section of Philips Brook that runs through its property in Garrison. The board's vote concluded the environmental review for the $1.8 million project, under which the treatment program for women plans to remove a 10-foot-high dam originally built decades ago to create a swimming pond. It will then move 800 feet of the brook north into a new 30-foot-wide channel that will be 3 to 5 feet deep, enabling it to hold more water. Some sections of the stone wall constraining the brook as it flows west to Constitution Marsh will be removed, as will one of the footbridges and one of three lower dams, or weirs. Dirt excavated for the new channel will be used to fill 300 feet of the brook and the two other weirs. Despite multiple repairs, the dam and the stone walls have sustained extensive damage from flooding and face greater water pressure as storms intensify and become more frequent, according to Inter-Fluve, the Cambridge, Massachusetts, firm overseeing the project. If the dam failed, the rush of water could damage downstream properties, creating a liability risk for the Hoving Home, said Nick Nelson, a fluvial geomorphologist with Inter-Fluve who reviewed the project during a Conservation Board public hearing last month. The project is also expected to improve passage for fish and other aquatic species and reduce flooding along Snake Hill Road. "There's water still flowing through, but what used to be a pond is filled with gravel and cobble," said Nelson. "If that dam were to fail catastrophically during a storm, all of that material would be washed downstream." Hoving Homes submitted an application for a wetlands permit in June 2025. After neighbors raised concerns about potential flooding, the board asked its consultant, SLR Engineering, to review Inter-Fluve's projections. SLR found Inter-Fluve's modeling to be adequate. The Conservation Board, which still must issue a wetlands permit, concluded that the Hoving Home had taken steps to reduce temporary "moderate-to-large impacts" related to drainage, erosion and flooding during construction. Beth Greco, the Hoving Homes president and CEO, said it plans to begin the project in the spring. Under a permit approved by the state Department of Environmental Conservation, Hoving will be prohibited from undertaking in-stream work from Oct. 1 to April 30, when trout spawn and incubate. Once finished, the new channel will be wider and shallower than the existing one. Boulders will be placed along its bed to create "step pools" — areas of deeper water to slow the flow and reduce erosion of the banks. The pools also provide "resting stops" for fish and oxygen-rich water during periods of turbulence, according to Inter-Fluve. Native plants will cover the new bank. In addition, according to Inter-Fluve, the reconstruction will avoid two areas of "archeological sensitivity" identified in consultation with the state Historic Preservation Office, which considers the site eligible for the National Register of Historic Places. The configuration will send "additional flow" through a culvert that carries the brook under Avery Road, according to project documents. Walter Hoving received a $200,000 grant to replace the town-owned culvert, which is considered undersized. But Greco said last month that the property lines bordering the culvert prevent it from being widened. "It's in good enough shape to keep," she said.
Today we head back to Indianapolis with the podcast Urban Roots. In the 1950s and 1960s, Ms. Jean Spears was a young mother and burgeoning preservationist. She saved antiques from houses about to be demolished; she bought a home in a white slum and renovated it; later on, she did the same with a historic home in the black neighborhood near Indiana Avenue. In the eighties, she and some neighbors started digging into this black neighborhood's history, uncovering the names of Black doctors, civic leaders, and other professionals who had lived there, many of whom had worked for Madam C.J. Walker. She helped rename the neighborhood to Ransom Place, in honor of Freeman Ransom, Madam Walker's prodigious lawyer. And in 1991, they succeeded in getting the Ransom Place Historic District included in the National Register of Historic Places. Thanks in no small part to the connection to Madam C.J. Walker, Jean Spears was able to save this pocket of Black history, in an area that — as we explained last episode — the city of Indianapolis had almost erased from memory. But black Indy history is about more than Madam Walker, and other stories and places in the city need protection, too. In this episode, we'll introduce you to three Black women who are carrying on what Ms. Jean Spears started — safeguarding these little-known stories of the past and guiding Indianapolis toward a brighter future.

Welcome to "Travel to Listen," a new Unpacked series hosted by veteran music journalist Tim Chester. Over four episodes rolling out every other week, Tim takes us into the cities where music is more than entertainment—it's the shortcut to a place's soul. This week, he heads to Minneapolis to hear how a community center, a cold climate, and a once-in-a-generation genius combined to create one of the most distinctive sounds in American music, plus how the city is celebrating a decade since Prince's passing. In this episode How the Minneapolis sound emerged from the Great Migration, housing segregation, rock radio, and a community center called The Way, where a teenage Prince jammed alongside Morris Day and Terry Lewis Why Paul Peterson (dubbed St. Paul by Prince himself) believes the Minneapolis sound is joyous, funky, and built to last, and how his supergroup, the Minneapolis Funk All-Stars, is carrying it forward The story of historian Kristen Zschomler: how grief over Prince's death led her to track 50+ locations across Minneapolis where he lived, worked, and recorded, and her ongoing mission to get them on the National Register of Historic Places What Prince mastered at his childhood home in North Minneapolis. Plus, why Sound 80, the studio where he cut his first demo tapes at 19, was the launchpad for everything that followed How to experience Minneapolis in 2026: from Paisley Park to First Avenue, Bunkers Music Bar to the Dakota, and the five-day Prince Celebration festival in June marking the 10th anniversary of Prince's death Meet this week's guests Paul Peterson is a musician, songwriter, and former Prince collaborator, dubbed "St. Paul" by the Purple One himself. He was a member of The Time and The Family, appeared in Purple Rain, and is now the leader of the Minneapolis Funk All-Stars, an all-star alumni supergroup dedicated to keeping the Minneapolis sound alive. Kristen Zschomler is a historian and co-founder of the International Center 4 Prince Studies. She gives guided tours of Prince's Minneapolis and created Sound Around Tours, a self-guided audio tour app. She has researched and documented over 50 locations tied to Prince's life and work, and has successfully advocated for two of them to be added to the National Register of Historic Places. Guest host Tim Chester is a freelance travel and culture writer who has spent the past 20 years exploring the world through the lens of music. His reporting has appeared in NME, Spin, and Afar, and his travels have taken him from Manhattan to Malawi and Beijing to Berlin in search of the festivals, scenes, and stories that reveal a city's soul.

fWotD Episode 3315: Oregon State Capitol Welcome to featured Wiki of the Day, your daily dose of knowledge from Wikipedia's finest articles.The featured article for Tuesday, 2 June 2026, is Oregon State Capitol.The Oregon State Capitol is the building housing the state legislature and the offices of the governor, secretary of state, and treasurer of the U. S. state of Oregon. It is located in the state capital, Salem. Constructed from 1936 to 1938 and expanded in 1977, the current building is the third to house the Oregon state government in Salem. The first two capitols in Salem were destroyed by fire, one in 1855 and the other in 1935.New York architects Trowbridge & Livingston conceived the current structure's Art Deco stripped classical design in association with Francis Keally. Much of the interior and exterior is made of marble. The Oregon State Capitol was placed on the National Register of Historic Places on June 29, 1988.The federal government's Public Works Administration partially financed construction which was completed during the Great Depression in 1938. The building was erected at a cost of $2.5 million for the central portion of the building, which includes a cupola of 166 feet (51 m). The wings, which doubled the floor space of the building to about 233,750 square feet (21,716 m2), were added later for $12.5 million. The grounds outside the capitol building contain artwork, fountains, and flora, including the state tree (Douglas fir) and state flower (Oregon grape).This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 01:09 UTC on Tuesday, 2 June 2026.For the full current version of the article, see Oregon State Capitol on Wikipedia.This podcast uses content from Wikipedia under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.Visit our archives at wikioftheday.com and subscribe to stay updated on new episodes.Follow us on Bluesky at @wikioftheday.com.Also check out Curmudgeon's Corner, a current events podcast.Until next time, I'm neural Olivia.

I'm not afraid of failure, and I don't look at the outcome as important. Things evolve, and I just go with the flow.Historic preservation doesn't just anchor communities; it transforms them. In today's episode, I spoke with Robert B Roberts Jr, developer of Craftsman Rose in St. Petersburg, Florida. His passion for restoring historic properties is matched only by his commitment to ensuring they remain vibrant, integral parts of their communities.Craftsman Rose is set on Central Avenue, St. Petersburg's thriving main corridor. The 1918 Craftsman-style bungalow was originally the model home for the historic Kenwood neighborhood. As Robert explained, “This was the model home, built when Kenwood was established, and it embodies the human scale of the neighborhood.”This restoration project isn't just a personal passion—it's a community-focused endeavor. While St. Petersburg experiences rapid growth and high-rise developments, Robert aims to preserve Craftsman Rose and its surroundings as a counterpoint. “I wanted to preserve this location, not only the building but the site, to keep it at a human scale,” he shared. His vision reflects an understanding of both architecture and the environment, combining historic preservation with modern sustainability measures.What sets this project apart is how Robert is funding it. He decided to raise a portion of the equity through a regulated crowdfunding campaign on Small Change, a platform designed for impact-driven investments. This unique approach enables anyone—from locals to fans of preservation—to invest in the project. “I thought it was important to get the Kenwood Historic Neighborhood involved, the residents involved, and other local organizations,” Robert said. “With Small Change, I've created a way for smaller investors to participate, whether they put in $100,000 or just $1,000.”Robert's experience in historic rehabilitation is extensive. This is his fifth such project. Four of his previous projects, including the iconic Snell Arcade—regarded as the jewel of downtown St. Petersburg—were placed on the National Register of Historic Places. His foresight and expertise have not only preserved remarkable structures but sparked broader renewal.Craftsman Rose exemplifies Robert's philosophy: honoring history while creating a purposeful future. With its historic designation paired with community-driven investment, this project shows how collective action can preserve the human elements in our rapidly changing cities.If you're interested in supporting this effort, you can learn more about Craftsman Rose by visiting the campaign on Small Change. This is more than a real estate project—it's a rare chance to help shape the future of St. Petersburg while celebrating the past.tl;dr:Craftsman Rose is a historic bungalow being restored and modernized in rapidly growing St. Petersburg.Robert emphasizes preserving architectural history to counterbalance the city's expanding skyscraper developments.The project is being funded partially through Small Change, a regulated crowdfunding platform.Robert's lifelong expertise includes restoring properties like the Snell Arcade, a catalyst for downtown's revival.Today's episode highlights Robert's superpower: fearless yet measured risk-taking to achieve his inspiring goals.How to Develop Risk-Taking As a SuperpowerRobert's superpower is his fearless embrace of risk, a quality he credits with fueling his success as a developer. Describing his approach, he said, “I'm willing to take risks. I'm not afraid of failure, and I don't look at the outcome as important. Things evolve, and I just go with the flow.” This mindset allows him to pursue ambitious projects where the outcome is uncertain, focusing instead on the vision he holds in his heart.During the purchase of the Snell Arcade, Robert took an enormous financial risk. Without the funds to secure the property outright, he negotiated a deal with the owner to pay $10,000 monthly over nine months with just $10,000 down. He recalls, “I only had $30,000 to my name at the time.” By leveraging his resourcefulness, he raised enough from friends and finalized the deal in just 90 days. The result? A $3 million historic restoration project that became a cornerstone of downtown St. Petersburg's rebirth.Suggestions for Developing This Superpower:Cultivate the mindset that failure is a learning experience, not a conclusion.Prepare thoroughly—educate yourself about your ventures to mitigate risks.Surround yourself with a skilled and trustworthy team to offset uncertainties.Structure deals to minimize personal financial exposure where possible.Maintain a long-term vision and adapt flexibly to changing circumstances.By following Robert's example and advice, you can make risk-taking a skill. With practice and effort, you could make it a superpower that enables you to do more good in the world.Remember, however, that research into success suggests that building on your own superpowers is more important than creating new ones or overcoming weaknesses. You do you!Guest ProfileRobert B Roberts, Jr (he/him):Manager/Developer, Craftsman Rose Garden LLCAbout Craftsman Rose Garden LLC: On May 28th, 2025 Robert contracted to purchase the property, which is located at 2955 Central Avenue N., St. Petersburg, Florida 33713.

Send us a text and chime in!The City of Flagstaff will begin a roof replacement project at the historic Milligan House, located at 323 W. Aspen Avenue, starting Monday, May 11.

West Point plans power line corridor opposite Garrison Conservation groups are raising concerns about a proposed power line that would cut a path through the forested mountain across from Garrison's Landing. The U.S. Army wants to upgrade and construct transmission lines and substations to increase power to West Point, which will alter the viewsheds of various registered historic districts, including Harriman State Park and the Thayer Hotel and Buffalo Soldier Field on base. Garrison's Landing is "in the direct view of this unfortunate proposal to scalp a 150-foot-wide swath through the forest, down that ridge to the Hudson River," said J. Jeffrey Anzevino, director of land use advocacy at Scenic Hudson. The landing was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1982. An Army report on the project maps a 2.5-mile right-of-way for two new lines that would each deliver 69 kilovolts (kV) of electricity. Of the existing 9.5 miles of lines, which run at 34.5 kV, some would be removed and others upgraded. In addition, three substations would be upgraded, a substation would be built next to one at Wilson Gate and a substation in Highland Falls would be decommissioned. A switching station would also be built. Neither West Point nor Orange & Rockland, the utility that would construct the lines and substation, responded to requests for comment. In its report, the Army acknowledges that the project "will noticeably and substantially alter the Hudson Highlands landscape" and "diminish the integrity of setting, feeling and association" of West Point and Garrison's Landing, but says its plan is still the best option. Upgrading the existing lines to handle larger loads and projected increases to up to 138 kV without building new lines would cost an estimated $60 million more than the $113 million approved for the project. Burying the lines would also be too expensive, it said, and impact wetlands and streams. Anzevino said conservation and preservation groups would like to know more about how the Army determined that other options, such as going underground, are not feasible. "The consensus is there's not an awful lot of detail in their rationale," said Edward Warren of the Hudson Highlands Land Trust. He cited research showing that while tunneling is more expensive, it reduces maintenance costs because the lines are protected from storm damage. The groups also would like more information about why the upgrades are needed. Anzevino said that he was only told by West Point that it has "electrical issues" every summer. "What is West Point doing to generate its own energy?" he said. "Renewables, battery storage?" He said the military told them the review doesn't have to consider that. The project must undergo a National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) review, but because West Point is federal land, it will not be subject to state review. It's not clear if the public will be invited to weigh in, Anzevino said. "I don't believe West Point is going to allow the rank and file — the residents who are going to be viewing this — to be participating," he said. Pointing to an Army rendering that shows trees disappearing along Fort Putnam Street in Highlands Falls, he said, "I doubt the people on that street even know this is happening."

The exact site of the Popham Colony was lost until 1888 when a plan for the site was found in the General Archives in Spain. This plan exactly matches the location at Sabino Head near Maine's Popham Beach State Park. Later archaeology in 1994 confirmed the location and the accuracy of the plan. The Popham Colony Site is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Special guest Eric Yanis of The Other States of America podcast concludes his telling of this incredible story.

When was Jack Daniel's registered as a distillery? According to legend, it was 1866. But I have questions. When were Jack and Nearest working on the Dan Call Farm and when did Jack come over to the Cave Spring Hollow (the distillery's present location) to start distilling? None of the stories about this distillery match. Some sources say Jack Daniel took over as distiller from Nearest when he moved to the Cave Spring Hollow. But the Jack Daniel distillery supposedly started on Dan Call's farm. So was that 1866 or before, or after? And when was it the Daniel & Call Distillery. Now I have answers. And the story is not what you've been told. What is listed as the "oldest registered distillery in the United States" according to the National Register of Historic Places wasn't the location of Jack's distillery in 1866. So where did this story come from? Why has this myth held on so long? How did the National Register get this bit of information wrong? Join me as I dig into what might have been a true story that was shifted over time into what is now the oldest registered distillery claim. It's a fascinating evolution and one that will lead us to answer another long asked question - where did this name Old Number 7 come from. Enjoy a romp through the history of Jack Daniel's, using historical evidence to recreate the creation of an origin myth. And check out Behind the Lore: Jack and Nearest on patreon.com/whiskeylore for a deeper look at the story of these two historic whiskey makers. Cheers and slainte mhath, Drew

Her walls echoed with the sounds of laughter at Marx Brothers antics, cheers for Gypsy Rose Lee and Fanny Brice, and thunderous applause for Pinky Lee. In 1973, worn out from seven decades of use and misuse, the Folly was sentenced to meet the wrecking ball. Bulldozers were ready to raze the building to make way for a parking lot. As the death of the Folly neared, alarmed citizens, led by Joan Kent Dillon and William Deramus III of the Performing Arts Foundation, rallied to her rescue. The building was purchased and placed on the National Register of Historic Places. A million-dollar grant was secured, and a piece of history was saved.

fWotD Episode 3239: Appellate Division Courthouse of New York State Welcome to featured Wiki of the Day, your daily dose of knowledge from Wikipedia's finest articles.The featured article for Wednesday, 18 March 2026, is Appellate Division Courthouse of New York State.The Appellate Division Courthouse of New York State is a courthouse in the Flatiron District of Manhattan in New York City, New York, U. S. The courthouse is used by the First Department of the New York Supreme Court's Appellate Division. The original three-story building, at the northeast corner of Madison Avenue and 25th Street, was designed by James Brown Lord in the Renaissance Revival style and was finished in 1899. A six-story annex to the north, on Madison Avenue, was designed by Rogers & Butler and completed in 1955.The facade of both the original building and its annex is made almost entirely out of marble. The courthouse's exterior was originally decorated with 21 sculptures from 16 separate artists; one of the sculptures was removed in 1955. The main entrance is through a double-height colonnade on 25th Street with a decorative pediment; there is also a smaller colonnade on Madison Avenue. The far northern end of the annex's facade contains a Holocaust Memorial by Harriet Feigenbaum, and the sculpture NOW by Shahzia Sikander is mounted atop the building. Inside the courthouse, ten artists created murals for the main hall and the courtroom. The interiors are decorated with elements such as marble walls, woodwork, and paneled and coffered ceilings; the courtroom also has stained-glass windows and a stained-glass ceiling dome. The remainder of the building contains various offices, judges' chambers, and other rooms.The Appellate Division Courthouse was proposed in the late 1890s to accommodate the Appellate Division's First Department, which had been housed in rented quarters since its founding. Construction took place between 1896 and 1899, with a formal opening on January 2, 1900. Following unsuccessful attempts to relocate the court in the 1930s and 1940s, the northern annex was built between 1952 and 1955, and the original courthouse was also renovated. The structure was again renovated in the 1980s and in the 2000s. Throughout the courthouse's existence, its architecture has received largely positive commentary. The Appellate Division Courthouse is listed on the National Register of Historic Places, and its facade and interior are both New York City designated landmarks.This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 01:05 UTC on Wednesday, 18 March 2026.For the full current version of the article, see Appellate Division Courthouse of New York State on Wikipedia.This podcast uses content from Wikipedia under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.Visit our archives at wikioftheday.com and subscribe to stay updated on new episodes.Follow us on Mastodon at @wikioftheday@masto.ai.Also check out Curmudgeon's Corner, a current events podcast.Until next time, I'm generative Amy.

Bizarre Files - Antarctica, Blue Dragons, and Historic Places (03/16/26) by 96.5 WKLH
An unassuming house in Southeast Portland’s Buckman neighborhood was recently added to the National Register of Historic Places. Once known as “Juniper House,” the building served as one of the first end-of-life care homes for AIDS patients in the Pacific Northwest in the late 1980s. An OPB documentary at the time explored the lives of some of the patients in Juniper House and the neighboring Assisi House, which provided a range of care for patients with HIV/AIDS. Jan Weyeneth is one of the co-founders of Juniper House. Cayla McGrail is a former associate project manager for Portland’s LGBTQ+ Historic Sites Project, which sponsored the house’s listing. We first spoke with Weyeneth and McGrail in April 2025 about Juniper House and the importance of documenting queer history in Portland.
fWotD Episode 3220: Fort Southerland Welcome to featured Wiki of the Day, your daily dose of knowledge from Wikipedia's finest articles.The featured article for Friday, 27 February 2026, is Fort Southerland.Fort Southerland, also known as Redoubt E and possibly Fort Diamond, is a redoubt built during the American Civil War to protect Camden, Arkansas. Confederate forces built it along with four other redoubts in early 1864 after a Union victory in the Little Rock campaign the previous year. Fort Southerland is about the size of a city block and is roughly oval. It could hold three cannons. When Union forces captured Camden in April 1864 during the Camden Expedition, they improved the defenses of the five redoubts, which were not sufficient for proper defense of the city. After the Confederates retook Camden later that month, they continued to improve the city's defenses.The fort lies within Fort Southerland Park, a municipal park dedicated in 1974. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1994, and is part of the Camden Expedition Sites National Historic Landmark. Along with Fort Lookout (Redoubt A), it is one of only two of the redoubts around Camden still in existence.This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 00:23 UTC on Friday, 27 February 2026.For the full current version of the article, see Fort Southerland on Wikipedia.This podcast uses content from Wikipedia under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.Visit our archives at wikioftheday.com and subscribe to stay updated on new episodes.Follow us on Mastodon at @wikioftheday@masto.ai.Also check out Curmudgeon's Corner, a current events podcast.Until next time, I'm neural Gregory.
It's the last week of Black History Month, so we're bringing you some of our favorite episodes about Chicago's contributions to Black history. In 2023, the Illinois Chapter of the Black Panther Party was listed in the National Register of Historic Places, the culmination of a yearslong effort to landmark a collection of sites associated with the Black Panthers. About a year before they won that historical recognition, host Jacoby Cochran talked with Leila Wills, executive director of the Historical Preservation Society of the Illinois Chapter of the Black Panther Party. They discuss where the Black Panthers worked in Chicago and about Wills' personal connection to the history as the daughter of party members.

Mayflower II – the replica of the ship that brought the Pilgrims to America in 1620 and launched a nation – is seen by some 2.6 million visitors every year in Plymouth. The ship is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. But there is a lot more to the replica of the Mayflower launched in the middle 1950's than meets the eye. Researcher Richard A. Stone has written the definitive, fascinating history of it all in a book entitled, “Project Mayflower: Building and Sailing a 17th-Century Replica,” featuring never- before – told stories of a great adventure that captivated the world!
(00:00:00) We begin in Potter County with Gary M. Buchsen, whose family owns and operates the Coudersport Ice Mine — a geological anomaly that has fascinated visitors for more than a century. Discovered in 1894 by silver prospector Billy O’Neill, the Ice Mine produces ice in the spring and summer, then melts in the fall and winter, thanks to a rare rock formation that traps and releases cold air. After decades of closure and disrepair, Gary’s parents, Gary and Diana Buchsen, restored the site and reopened it in 2014. Today, the Ice Mine draws visitors from nearly every state and dozens of countries, offering a glimpse into one of Pennsylvania’s most unusual natural phenomena. (00:22:24) Then we head southeast to Philadelphia’s Chestnut Hill neighborhood to visit the Morris Arboretum & Gardens of the University of Pennsylvania, a 92‑acre public garden and living history museum. Once a private estate and now listed on the National Register of Historic Places, the Arboretum blends horticulture, research, and environmental education. With its sweeping landscapes, conservation work, and commitment to public engagement, it stands as one of the region’s most treasured green spaces.

fWotD Episode 3177: Louis Abramson Welcome to featured Wiki of the Day, your daily dose of knowledge from Wikipedia's finest articles.The featured article for Thursday, 15 January 2026, is Louis Abramson.Louis Allen Abramson (August 1, 1887 – January 15, 1985) was an American architect who practiced mostly in New York City, specializing in hospitals, nursing homes, and restaurants. He is best known for designing the Daughters of Jacob Geriatric Center at 1201 Findlay Avenue in the Bronx. Early in his career, he designed several Jewish Centers, a new type of building which filled the religious, cultural, educational, and often fitness needs of the community in a single structure. Later commissions included several restaurants for the Horn & Hardart, Longchamps, and Brass Rail chains, a nightclub, and a large office building.Abramson had little formal schooling in architecture; he took courses at Cooper Union, the Mechanics Institute, and Columbia University but did not complete a degree. Most of his training was on-the-job in junior positions at well-known New York City architecture firms, after which he started his own firm. He employed a variety of styles, including Neo-Renaissance, Moorish Revival, Neo-Classical, Tudor, Art Deco, and Art Moderne. Several of his buildings are listed on the National Register of Historic Places.This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 01:17 UTC on Thursday, 15 January 2026.For the full current version of the article, see Louis Abramson on Wikipedia.This podcast uses content from Wikipedia under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.Visit our archives at wikioftheday.com and subscribe to stay updated on new episodes.Follow us on Bluesky at @wikioftheday.com.Also check out Curmudgeon's Corner, a current events podcast.Until next time, I'm neural Danielle.
rWotD Episode 3177: Bangor Public Library Welcome to random Wiki of the Day, your journey through Wikipedia's vast and varied content, one random article at a time.The random article for Wednesday, 14 January 2026, is Bangor Public Library.The Bangor Public Library is the public library of Bangor, Maine. It shares the URSUS online cataloging system with the University of Maine and other Maine libraries.The library's roots date to 1830, when the Bangor Mechanic Association assembled a private collection of books. In 1873, it absorbed several other associations' libraries and became the Bangor Mechanic Association Public Library.In 1883, former U. S. Congressman and lumber baron Samuel F. Hersey left the City of Bangor a $100,000 bequest, which the city used to form a municipally owned public library. The Mechanic Association's 20,000 books formed the core collection. In 1905, the small membership fee was abolished and the library became truly open to all.By 1911, the library's collection had grown to 70,000 books. Then came the Great Fire of 1911, which destroyed the library along with most of the Bangor Business District. The library reopened that May with the 29 books pulled from the ashes and 1,300 others that had been on loan. (Today, the library is listed on the National Register of Historic Places as part of the Great Fire of 1911 Historic District.)In 1913, the library's new building, designed by the Boston architectural firm Peabody and Stearns, opened its doors near the high school.In 1997, the library was renovated and a new wing added (designed by Robert A. M. Stern Architects), thanks to a donation from Stephen and Tabitha King. King's story The Library Policeman was inspired by his 10-year-old son's expressed fear of returning overdue books to the Bangor Public Library because of "the library police".In 2014, the library was renovated again; plans included a new glass atrium designed by Scott Simons Architects.In June of 2023, the library hired its first community resource navigator, Olivia Scott, MSW. The position was the first of its kind and paid for through American Rescue Act funds. On an interesting note, the library contains the couch that former VP Hannibal Hamlin drew his last breath upon while playing cards too hard.This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 00:09 UTC on Wednesday, 14 January 2026.For the full current version of the article, see Bangor Public Library on Wikipedia.This podcast uses content from Wikipedia under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.Visit our archives at wikioftheday.com and subscribe to stay updated on new episodes.Follow us on Bluesky at @wikioftheday.com.Also check out Curmudgeon's Corner, a current events podcast.Until next time, I'm neural Ruth.
The Popham Colony Site is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The exact site of the Popham Colony was lost until 1888 when a plan for the site was found in the General Archives in Spain. This plan exactly matches the location at Sabino Head near Maine's Popham Beach State Park. Later archaeology in 1994 confirmed the location and the accuracy of the plan.

In 1904 Mississippi, a white man stepped off a train and made a dangerous mistake: he thought the law was on his side. He didn't realize he had just walked into Mound Bayou, the only town in the South where Jim Crow had no jurisdiction.Most history books tell us about the prosperous Black towns that were destroyed, Tulsa, Rosewood, Wilmington. But they rarely talk about the one that was too strong to burn.This is the investigative history of Mound Bayou: a "fortress" built in the middle of the Delta that used a loophole in property law to ban white ownership and create a self-sustaining economy. From a hospital with Black surgeons in the 1940s to a bank that secretly funded the Civil Rights movement when the government tried to freeze their assets, this is the blueprint for how infrastructure beats integration.It started with a paradox on a plantation and ended with a town that became a safe house for the movement. This is how they built the wall that hate couldn't climb.The Pursuit of a Dream by Janet Sharp HermannMound Bayou and the Regional Council of Negro Leadership by David T.

Fred Talley's Hard Truth: Diggin' Up the Dirt on Jasper's Famous Marble! Howdy, folks! Fred Talley here from Faith Pest Control. You know, most folks look at a big, beautiful marble slab and think about how fancy it looks. But me? I look at that giant rock and think about how much honest, back-breaking labor it took to get it out of the ground! Just like there's no quick fix for a German cockroach problem, there's no easy way to wrestle that famous Georgia marble out of the earth. Jasper and Pickens County are called the “Marble Capital of Georgia” for a reason. This marble is so pure, they’ve used it in places like the Lincoln Memorial, the New York Stock Exchange, and all sorts of fancy buildings. It’s truly a Georgia treasure. Now, while you can’t just wander onto a working quarry whenever you like—they've got big machinery and big safety rules, which I respect!—there are some excellent, popular ways to see this magnificent stone and learn the history. Here are the top places to see and learn about the famous Georgia Marble: 1. The Annual Georgia Marble Festival Quarry Tours This is the big event, folks. If you want to see the largest open-pit marble quarries in the world, you gotta come during the annual Georgia Marble Festival. It's held on the first full weekend of October every year. Why I Like It: This is the only time the public gets a dedicated bus tour of the actual quarries. You get to see the marble in its natural state and learn about the history of the industry, going back to the late 1800s. They also have marble sculpting demonstrations, a parade, and great festival food. It’s a full celebration of what makes this county great! Pest-Free Pro-Tip: Festivals attract big crowds, which means careful sanitation management is a must. The fact that this festival runs like a well-oiled machine every year tells me they've got their logistics down pat—and that includes keeping the grounds clean, which is priority number one for keeping pests away! 2. The Pickens County Marble History Museum If you want to understand why this stone is so important, head on over to the Marble Museum at Lee Newton Park in Jasper. Why I Like It: This is where you can see the history that paved the way for all that beautiful marble. You'll learn about the entrepreneurs, like the Tate family, who built the Georgia Marble Company and made this area famous. They also talk about how marble is used in surprising ways—did you know crushed marble is in things like toothpaste and antacids? Hard to believe a bug would touch that! Pest-Free Pro-Tip: A museum is all about preservation. They are keeping fragile documents and historical artifacts safe. To do that, they have to maintain an environment that is totally sealed off and protected from moisture, insects, and rodents. It takes careful, professional work, the kind of detailed work we do every day at Faith Pest Control. 3. The Historic Tate House (The Pink Palace) Just a short drive from Jasper in the community of Tate, you'll find the famous Tate House. Colonel Sam Tate, the man who eventually led the Georgia Marble Company, built this magnificent home. Why I Like It: It's a gorgeous mansion, listed in the National Register of Historic Places, and it's built almost entirely out of the local, famous pink marble. It stands as a powerful testament to the wealth and importance the marble industry brought to the region. While it's privately owned, it's one of the most photographed spots and a key landmark on the Georgia Marble Story Trail. Pest-Free Pro-Tip: Building a house out of solid, local marble? That’s a structural barrier that even the toughest termite is going to have a hard time chewing through! It's the ultimate form of pest-resistant construction. So, if you're looking to see a piece of history that's as solid and enduring as a promise from me, Fred Talley, you need to check out Jasper's marble heritage. It truly is a remarkable industry! Now, go enjoy the monuments. And remember, if you have any foundation problems that aren’t solid marble, you know who to call! We'll get rid of the pests, or you won’t owe us a penny. That's the Faith Pest Control $25.00 back guarantee!The post Marble News in Jasper Georgia first appeared on Faith Pest Control.

And like most things involving the president, the moves aren't without their critics — including some you might not normally expect pushback from. Trump's rapid response team highlighted the two vetoes: https://twitter.com/RapidResponse47/status/2006153283996381333?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E2006153283996381333%7Ctwgr%5E79e6ef2350ae826bc802e9e5d82d5c97bad630de%7Ctwcon%5Es1_c10&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.thegatewaypundit.com%2F2026%2F01%2Fpresident-trump-issues-first-vetoes-second-term%2F The “Miccosukee Reserved Area Amendments Act” is a bill aimed at expanding the land set aside for the Miccosukee Tribe inside Everglades National Park by officially including a section known as Osceola Camp. Trump had a couple of issues with this. The residential community in that area “was constructed in 1935, without authorization, in a low area that was raised with fill material,” Trump's explanation read. “None of the current structures in the Osceola Camp are over 50 years old, nor do they meet the other criteria to be considered for listing in the National Register of Historic Places,” Trump wrote to the House. He added that, “the Miccosukee Tribe has actively sought to obstruct reasonable immigration policies that the American people decisively voted for when I was elected.” That appears to be a direct reference to the tribe's publicized opposition — including a lawsuit against the Trump administration — to the “Alligator Alcatraz” detention center in Florida, as noted by The Associated Press. The “Finish the Arkansas Valley Conduit Act,” meanwhile, is a bill designed to make it easier for rural Colorado communities to complete a long‑planned water pipeline project that will facilitate drinking water to people in the Arkansas River Valley. Trump appeared to take specific issue with the price tag and repayment plans for this project. “It was originally authorized … in a bill signed by President Kennedy in 1962,” Trump said. “For decades it was unbuilt, largely because the AVC was economically unviable.” “More than $249 million has already been spent on the AVC, and total costs are estimated to be $1.3 billion,” Trump wrote. “H.R. 131 would continue the failed policies of the past by forcing Federal taxpayers to bear even more of the massive costs of a local water project — a local water project that, as initially conceived, was supposed to be paid for by the localities using it. “Enough is enough. My administration is committed to preventing American taxpayers from funding expensive and unreliable policies. Ending the massive cost of taxpayer handouts and restoring fiscal sanity is vital to economic growth and the fiscal health of the Nation.” The bill was backed and pushed by Colorado GOP Rep. Lauren Boebert — normally a staunch supporter of Trump's — who seemed incensed with the president's veto and vowed that “this isn't over.” Source: thegatewaypundit.com https://twitter.com/EagleEdMartin/status/2006700820432130068?s=20 to believe that these Democrat Mayors and Governors, all of whom are greatly incompetent, would want us to leave, especially considering the great progress that has been made???

The Mayflower II—the replica of the 1620 ship that brought the Pilgrims to America and launched a nation—is seen by some 2.6 million visitors to Plymouth annually and listed on the National Register of Historic Places. But there is much more to the replica's story than meets the eye. In fact, the origins of Project Mayflower began in the 1950s not with an American, but with a British World War II veteran named Warwick Charlton who had what seemed an impossible dream: to build a historically accurate replica, sail her across the Atlantic, and present the finished product as a thank-you to his country's wartime ally.

This remarkable limestone residence in Dodge City, Kansas—affectionately known as the "Home of Stone"—stands as one of America's most authentic windows into late 19th century domestic life.Built in 1881, when the American frontier was still taking shape, this architectural gem immediately captivates visitors with its breathtaking handcrafted spiral staircase—an elegant masterpiece of woodworking that serves as the home's stunning centerpiece. As you move through the meticulously preserved rooms, each space reveals intimate details of frontier family life: the formal Victorian parlor with its sumptuous furnishings designed for social gatherings; the spacious, light-filled master bedroom that served as John and Caroline Mueller's private sanctuary; and the practical basement kitchen that kept cooking heat separate from living areas in the days before modern ventilation.What makes the Mueller-Schmidt House truly exceptional is the remarkable preservation of its original elements. Each room stands as a testament to frontier resilience and ambition, with exquisite woodwork and period-appropriate furnishings that tell the story of a successful family establishing permanence in what was once the wild west. Now curated by the Ford County Historical Society and proudly listed on the National Register of Historic Places, this limestone treasure preserves an irreplaceable connection to Dodge City's rich past.

In this one, I talk to Katie Ringsmuth. She's the Alaska State Historian, the Deputy State Historic Preservation Officer and the creator of the NN Cannery History Project, a seven-year effort to preserve and interpret the stories of the people who powered one of Alaska's most historic salmon canneries. For Katie, this story is personal. She grew up around the NN Cannery in South Naknek, where her dad worked for decades, eventually becoming the last superintendent of the Alaska Packers' Association. He started in 1964 as a young college graduate in Kodiak, doing whatever odd jobs needed doing — from sorting crab to running the entire operation at the NN Cannery. Under his leadership, the cannery shifted away from the rigid, old-school model of command-and-control superintendents — “Tony Soprano–style,” as Katie puts it — and toward something more humane. He created housing for families, hired women and built a workplace that people returned to year after year. The NN Cannery History Project is more than just about the processing plant, it's about preserving its historical importance and honoring its workers. The cannery itself was a cultural crossroads with a workforce that included Alaska Native peoples, Scandinavians, Italians, Japanese, Chinese, and Filipino laborers. Canned food revolutionized how people ate. It made it possible to preserve and transport perishable foods across vast distances, reshaping global diets and economies — and the NN Cannery was a key player in that transformation. Originally built as a saltery in 1897, the NN Cannery went on to produce more canned salmon than any other cannery in the state. Katie's work on the NN Cannery History Project ultimately led to the site being listed on the National Register of Historic Places, a recognition that underscores its national significance. Throughout the project, Katie explores how Alaska fits into the global history of canned food and how preservation — both of fish and of stories — can change the way we understand place, labor and legacy.
This is a Grave Talks CLASSIC EPISODE! Carthage, Tennessee, is situated at the confluence of two rivers, and it served as a strategic post during the Civil War, acting as a major Federal base in the battle for the Upper Cumberland River region. In the heart of this small town, you'll find the Smith County Courthouse, constructed between 1877 and 1879, standing proudly on the downtown square. This architectural gem, praised as the "handsomest in the state" back in the day, is a stunning example of the Second Empire style, and it's no wonder that in 1979, it earned a spot on the National Register of Historic Places. But behind its elegant façade lies a dark and eerie history. The courthouse, the second to be built on this site, has witnessed public hangings and untimely deaths, leaving restless spirits in its wake, like "Jeff," who seems to rule the third floor, Paul, who tragically died on the first floor during a Christmas event, and a mysterious lady who haunts the stairs. Today on the Grave Talks, the Spirits of the Smith County Courthouse, a conversation with Steven Denson of Mid-Tenn Paranormal.
