Most people assume the current Stonewall Inn is the one raided by cops in 1969; understanding its complex history led to the new visitor center.
The original Stonewall Inn closed in 1969, and its locations became a bagel store, Chinese restaurant, gay bars, and clothing store.
The 2016 designation of the Stonewall Inn as a US national monument paved the way for the new Stonewall Visitor Center, honoring LGBTQ+ history.
The Visitor Center occupies the original bar's larger room, acting as a memorial to its significant role in LGBTQ+ rights history.
