    4. FAIRMOUNT (EAST/WEST) PARK MASTER PLAN Fairmount Park System Natural Lands Restoration Master Plan Skyline of the City of Philadelphia as seen from George’s Hill. 4.A. T ASKS A SSOCIATED W ITH R ESTORATION A CTIVITIES 4.A.1. Introduction The project to prepare a natural lands restoration master plan for Fairmount (East/West) Park began in October 1997. Numerous site visits were conducted in Fairmount (East/West) Park with the Fairmount Park Commission (FPC) District #1 Manager and staff, community members, Natural Lands Restoration and Environmental Education Program (NLREEP) staff and Academy of Natural Sciences of Philadelphia (ANSP) staff. Informal meetings at the Park’s district office were held to solicit information and opinions from district staff. Additionally, ANSP participated in the NLREEP Technical Advisory Committee (TAC) meetings in March and October 1998. These meetings were used to solicit ideas and develop contacts with other environmental scientists and land managers. A meeting was also held with ANSP, NLREEP and FPC engineering staff to discuss completed and planned projects in or affecting natural lands in Fairmount (East/West) Park. A variety of informal contacts, such as speaking at meetings of Friends groups and other clubs, and discussions during field visits provided additional input. ANSP, NLREEP and the Philadelphia Water Department (PWD) set up a program of quarterly meetings to discuss various issues of joint interest. These meetings are valuable in obtaining information useful in planning restoration and in developing concepts for cooperative programs. As a result of these meetings, PWD staff reviewed the list of priority stream restoration sites proposed for Fairmount (East/West) Park.

    Eastern State Penitentiary HSR: IV. Fabric Summary 282 IV. FABRIC SUMMARY: CONSTRUCTION, ALTERATIONS, AND USES OF SPACE (for documentation, see Appendices A and B, by date, and C, by location) Jeffrey A. Cohen § A. Front Building (figs. C3.1 - C3.19) Work began in the 1823 building season, following the commencement of the perimeter walls and preceding that of the cellblocks. In August 1824 all the active stonecutters were employed cutting stones for the front building, though others were idled by a shortage of stone. Twenty-foot walls to the north were added in the 1826 season bounding the warden's yard and the keepers' yard. Construction of the center, the first three wings, the front building and the perimeter walls were largely complete when the building commissioners turned the building over to the Board of Inspectors in July 1829. The half of the building east of the gateway held the residential apartments of the warden. The west side initially had the kitchen, bakery, and other service functions in the basement, apartments for the keepers and a corner meeting room for the inspectors on the main floor, and infirmary rooms on the upper story. The latter were used at first, but in September 1831 the physician criticized their distant location and lack of effective separation, preferring that certain cells in each block be set aside for the sick. By the time Demetz and Blouet visited, about 1836, ill prisoners were separated rather than being placed in a common infirmary, and plans were afoot for a group of cells for the sick, with doors left ajar like others.

Revolutionary War Cemetery in Fishkill, New York On Veteran’s Day, Nov. 11, 2014 the owner of a 10.4 acres parcel of land in Fishkill, NY held a ceremony that marked a significant step in the effort to preserve what the National Park Service (NPS) recognizes as the Revolutionary War’s single largest cemetery. The land owner placed a permanent stone marker that reads, in part, “Near here lie buried Revolutionary War heroes.” Dr. Robert Selig,a researcher studying the route of march that the Continental Army and its French Allies followed to Yorktown in 1781, identi- fied a French soldier who perished at the Fishkill Supply Depot: Jean Bonnaire, a fusilier of the Saintonge Regiment of Infantry. Per French military records, Bonnaire died in the hospital in “Phisquil” on October www.nps.gov/waro Page 1 31, 1781. This discovery raises the total number of identified soldiers to 86 and serves as a vivid reminder of France’s participation and sacrifice during our War for Independence. In late 2007, an archaeological team rediscovered the cemetery on privately-owned land just south of the Van Wyck Homestead along U.S. Route 9 some 60 miles north of New York City.

  • Civic Engagement Case Study Speaking Inside the W Alls
    Speaking Inside the Walls: Linking Past and Present through Art ▼ Eastern State Penitentiary Historic Site, Inc., Philadelphia, Pennsylvania Eastern State Penitentiary is the world’s first modern penitentiary opening in 1829 as part of a controversial movement to change the behavior of inmates through solitary confinement. Communicating a Challenging Story Eastern State Penitentiary is a startling place, both visually and interpretively. Over ten acres of ruined buildings filled with 1,000 empty cells provide a tangi- ble foundation for illustrating America’s changing views towards human impris- onment. Eastern State opened in 1829 as the culmination of decades of effort on part of Enlightenment thinkers, Quaker reformers, and Revolutionary War luminaries such as Benjamin Franklin and Benjamin Rush to alleviate the mis- eries of prison life and reduce the numbers of repeat offenders. It pioneered a controversial approach to reforming prisoners by imposing a life of strict soli- tary confinement and physical labor. Prisoners had no contact with the outside Speaking Inside the Walls Speaking Inside the world or even with each other. TodayEastern State uses a range of innovative programs to present the still con- troversial issue of punishment and reform. To address such complex topics, the site uses nontraditional approaches to link historical experiences and contemporary issues. Through inventive program designs such as art installations, a conversation series on contemporary issues in corrections, alumni weekends with former prisoners and guards, and a self-guided audio tour, visitors are encouraged to consider new ideas, sort out their own thoughts, and use both intellect and emotion to examine an issue.
