General Grant National Memorial, or Grant's Tomb
The General Grant National Memorial in new York City is situated in Riverside Park overlooking the Hudson River. Also popularly known as Grant's Tomb, this mausoleum contains the bodies of Ulysses S. Grant, an American Civil War General and the 18th President of the United States, and his wife Julia D. Grant.
Shortly after Grant's death on July 23rd 1885, a committee that would come to be known as the Grant Memorial Association raised $600,000 to construct a memorial tomb. Over 8,000 tons of granite was used to construct the design drawn up by New York architect John Duncan. The design, modeled after one of the seven wonders of the ancient world, would be completed and dedicated on April 2th, 1897, the 75th anniversary of Grant's birth.
Julia Grant died on December 14th, 1902, and she was laid to rest beside her husband in a twin sarcophagus.
In the 1930's three murals, and five bronze busts of Grant's greatest generals were added to the tomb. In 1958, short on funds, the Grant Memorial Association turned the tomb over to the National Park Service. Despite several years of neglect, recent restoration projects have made the General Grant Memorial an interesting and reverent place to visit.

Gary Monroe Talks Highwaymen at Crisp-Ellert Museum
A lecture by writer Gary Monroe, “Painting in Paradise: The Art of the Highwaymen” was presented on Friday, June 1 , hosted by the Crisp-Ellert Museum, part of the Flagler College complex. This event was a part of St. Augustine’s First Friday Art Walk, and was free and open to the public.
Focusing on self-taught and vernacular art, Gary Monroe began his literary pursuits with “The Highwaymen: Florida’s African-American Landscape Painters” (University Press of Florida, 2001), in which he told the story of the Highwaymen painters and offered a fresh interpretation of their art. Consequently, public interest in these compelling but forgotten artists was revived. The New York Times wrote a Lively Arts front-page article about the book, saying that “These colorful landscapes… shaped the state’s popular image as much as oranges and alligators.” In subsequent books, including “Harold Newton: The Original Highwayman” (2007), “The Highwaymen Murals: Al Black’s Concrete Dreams” (2009), and “Mary Ann Carroll: First Lady of the Highwaymen” (2014), Monroe continued to tell these artist’s inspiring stories. Based on his nomination, these painters were inducted into the Florida Artists Hall of Fame in 2004.
Monroe’s other books about Florida art include “Extraordinary Interpretations: Self-taught Florida Artists” (2003), “Silver Springs: The Underwater Photographs of Bruce Mozert” (2008), “Florida’s American Heritage River: Images from the St. Johns Region” (2009), and “E. G. Barnhill: Florida Photographer, Adventurer, Entrepreneur” (2016).
Monroe’s work has been recognized by grants from the National Endowment for the Arts, Florida Department of State’s Division of Cultural Affairs, Florida Humanities Council, and the Fulbright Foundation. He recently retired after 30 years as a professor at Daytona State College.
Historic clock comes back to downtown Reno thanks to a generous donation.
Many Reno residents remember the Historic Reno Clock that stood in Park Lane Mall. The clock was built in the 1920's and stood on Virginia Street in downtown Reno before it moved to the Mall. When the Mall was demolished, the developer who bought the land donated the clock to the City of Reno. Bill Thornton of the Club Cal Neva donated $50,000 to repair the clock and have it placed at the City Plaza across from Reno City Hall. Subscribe to the City of Reno YouTube channel.

A NEW BUNGALOW BUILT TO BLEND INTO AN OLD NEIGHBORHOOD
It may have classic Craftsman bungalow style, but this house is newer than it looks. It was designed by architect Greg Dennee of Locati Architects to blend into an historic neighborhood in Bozeman, Montana. He says, “My clients were very respectful of the neighborhood’s mix of older styles and wanted their house to fit in.”
The homeowners had lived in an old bungalow in Seattle before and “liked bungalow style, but they also wanted more contemporary elements, like an open floor plan as well as some distinctly Montana touches.”
The living room “pays homage to Montana style” with its oversize fieldstone fireplace, oak floors, antique chandelier, reclaimed-oak mantel and reclaimed-fir ceiling beams.
Every room looks warm and inviting.
The architect took into consideration all the traditional pieces of furniture the homeowners had.
A library is tucked behind the living room fireplace for the book-loving homeowners
The house is 2,600 square feet with 3 bedrooms and 3.5 baths
The homeowners get asked a lot about the “renovation” by people who assume it’s an old house.
“We are very, very happy with the way that all of this turned out. It really works well for us.”

Micanopy, Florida
The Town of Micanopy encompasses 1.03 square miles near the Alachua-Marion County line in rural north-central Florida between Gainesville (home of the University of Florida) and Ocala (the horse capital of the world). Micanopy’s 615 residents occupy 300 residences. The beautiful southern community was named for Seminole Chief Micanopy (ca.1780-1849).
The ancient oaks clothed in Spanish moss enfold Micanopy’s narrow streets and dirt lanes and provide shade and Southern ambiance for visitors and families that have lived here for generations. Micanopy’s appeal is based on its rich, sometimes savage history. Florida’s aboriginal records show that Hernando De Soto encountered an early Timucua Indian Village here in 1539 and later, Pennsylvania botanist William Bartram visited a Cuscowilla village on this site in 1774. Micanopy is the oldest inland town in Florida, having been included in a land grant made by the King of Spain in 1817 to Don Fernando de la Maza Arrendondo of Havana and St. Augustine. Founded after Spain relinquished Florida to the United States in 1821, Micanopy became the first distinct American town in the new territory. Originally an Indian trading post, Micanopy was built under the auspices of the Florida Association of New York. A leading member of this company, Moses E. Levy, along with Edward Wanton, a former Anglo-Spanish Indian trader, played important roles here. In 1822, a select group of settlers and skilled craftsmen departed New York harbor and set sail for Florida. After disembarking on the banks of the St. Johns River (at the site of present day Palatka), and with the added labor of 15 slaves, these men forged a 45 mile road with eight bridges to Micanopy—a vital new pathway into the interior. These first settlers arrived on February 12, 1823, and were in close contact with both Seminole and Miccosukee Indians, as well as the black descendants of runaway slaves who resided among them. This initial period was one of relative peace. Micanopy means “head chief,” a title awarded to the leader of the Alachua Seminoles. For a time, this frontier hamlet was also known informally as “Wantons.”
The onset of the Second Seminole War in December 1835 caused great devastation. Nearby sugar plantations and homesteads were burned and entire families sought the safety of Micanopy, which had been barricaded with log pickets and renamed Fort Defiance by the military. During the summer of 1836, the Battle of Micanopy and the Battle of Welika Pond took place here. On August 24, with most soldiers sick or wounded, the US Army evacuated the fort and town and all buildings were intentionally burned. Afterward, Fort Micanopy was erected in 1837. The town was rebuilt after the Seminole War, with few of the original inhabitants returning. Cotton replaced sugar as a staple crop and cattle production assumed new importance. Following the Civil War and with the advent of the railroad, the Micanopy area became known as the “leading orange and vegetable growing section of Florida.” After a freeze in 1894-95, orange cultivation was curtailed, but farmers continued to flourish by growing winter vegetables for northern markets. By the 1920’s, truck farming was largely displaced by the lumber and turpentine industries. Many of the town’s larger surviving homes reflect the previous era of agricultural prosperity.
Today, excavations and preservation initiatives pay tribute to the Town’s historic past with the search for artifacts in residents’ yards. A local park, the Micanopy Native American Heritage Preserve, protects an Indian mound.
Dedicated on the National Register of Historic Places in 1983, Cholokka Boulevard, once an Indian trading route, is Micanopy’s main street, and the Town’s primary tourist destination known for its antique shops. Micanopy’s eclectic mix of authentic rustic storefronts lure casual shoppers, collectors, seasonal scouts from all over the country, and Hollywood film makers (1991 Doc Hollywood, 1983 Cross Creek, and most recently, The History Channel’s 2014 Top Gear). The nationally lauded Greek revival mansion, the Herlong Mansion Bed & Breakfast (1915), is known for providing Southern hospitality. A two-story brick schoolhouse (1895) houses Micanopy Town Hall, the Town Commission Chambers, and the Micanopy branch of the Alachua County Library District. Across the street, the wood-planked Thrasher Warehouse (1896) boasts the Micanopy Historical Society Museum and the Micanopy Archives showcasing the relevance of earlier times for historians, genealogists, and students. Numerous historic homes and old cracker houses add to the picturesque warm
Thank you to the Herlong Bed and Breakfast for being so accomodating.
