John Brown’s Fort, Harpers Ferry National Historical Park

John Brown’s Fort stands as an enduring symbol of the fight against slavery in Harpers Ferry, West Virginia. This small brick firehouse, with its distinctive arched windows and modest belfry, was originally built in 1848 as the armory’s fire engine and guard house. It became a pivotal site in 1859 when abolitionist John Brown and his followers staged their raid on the federal arsenal, hoping to ignite a slave uprising. Surrounded by the rugged hills of the Appalachian Mountains, the Fort has since been relocated and restored multiple times but remains an icon of the town’s history. This historic structure now serves as a museum and place of reflection, inviting visitors to consider the complexities of American history and the legacy of civil rights struggles that began here. The brickwork, weathered but resilient, bears witness to centuries of change in Harpers Ferry and to the town’s role in the national conversation about freedom, justice, and equality. Dramatic skies overhead and a backdrop of leafless trees add a solemn atmosphere to the site, underscoring the weight of history that lingers in the air.

Terminal Annex (Federal Building) - NHL & NRHP #93001607 - Downtown Dallas, Texas

The Federal Building Annex, also known as the Terminal Annex, rests on land formerly owned by John Neely Bryan, Dallas’ founder and first citizen. Constructed in 1937, at the cost of $1,000,000, the white stone and yellow brick structure was considered the most modern mail-processing center in the country upon its completion. Designed by Lang and Witchell, one of Dallas’ most prominent architectural firms of the early twentieth century, the Annex is an important visual anchor on the southern edge of Dealey Plaza. Dealey Plaza, a National Historic Landmark District (NHL #93001607), is best known as the site of the assassination of President John F. Kennedy on the 22nd of November, 1963. The Annex is not only physically connected with the events of that date by virtue of its location; Lee Harvey Oswald also rented a box there just weeks prior to the assassination. For these reasons, it is also a contributing member of the Dealey Plaza Historic District (National Register of Historic Places [NRHP] #93001607).

The building’s interior is marked by two eight-foot murals commissioned as part of New Deal Art Programs soon after the Annex’s completion. After a national design competition in which 149 entries were received, regionalist painter Peter Hurd was selected. Known for his landscape, figure, and genre paintings of New Mexico, Hurd focused on capturing light and atmosphere in his work. Entitled Pioneer Home Builders and Airmail Over Texas, the two fresco murals depict early Texas history.

Tumacacori National Historic Park  - preservation and reconstruction

Continuing our Kartchner 2025 adventure with a stop in Tumacacori National Historic Park. Jason and Jaime really loved the history and the Museum. I was more interested in the buildings and architecture.
This is a view of continuing preservation and reconstruction efforts on the Mission.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tumacacori,_Arizona
www.nps.gov/tuma/index.htm
Tumacácori National Historical Park is located in the upper Santa Cruz River Valley in Santa Cruz County, southern Arizona. The park consists of 360 acres (1.5 km2) in three separate units.[4] The park protects the ruins of three Spanish mission communities, two of which are National Historic Landmark sites. It also contains the landmark 1937 Tumacácori Museum building, also a National Historic Landmark.
After the Pima rebellion of 1751, the mission was moved to the present site on the west side of the Santa Cruz River and renamed San José de Tumacácori.[6] By 1848, the mission was abandoned and began falling into severe disrepair. In 1854 it became a part of the U.S. Arizona Territory, after the Gadsden Purchase.
Restoration and stabilization efforts began in 1908 when the site was declared Tumacácori National Monument by President Theodore Roosevelt. In 1990 it became part of the new Tumacácori National Historical Park.[6]

The meaning of the name "Tumacácori" is lost in history; however, there are some things that are known about the word. It's the English version of a Spanish version of an O'odham word or words which were what the O'odham residents told Kino that they called this place when he arrived and attempted to record it, but we don't know what they actually were trying to say to him. Visit the Frequently Asked Questions for more depth on this subject.
Father Kino established Tumacácori as a mission in January 1691, one day before Guevavi, making it the oldest mission site in what is now Arizona.

Father Kino established Tumacácori as a mission in January 1691, one day before Guevavi, making it the oldest mission site in what is now Arizona. For many years it was a visita or visiting station of the mission headquarters at Guevavi. During most of those years, it was located on the east side of the Santa Cruz River and was called San Cayetano de Tumacácori. Services were held in a small adobe structure built by the Pima inhabitants of the village. After the Pima rebellion of 1751, the mission was moved to the present site on the west side of the river and renamed San José de Tumacácori. Here the first actual church edifice was built.

Haiku thoughts:
Ruins in the sun,
Mission whispers of the past,
Heritage preserved.
