Stone Hall (Cockeysville, Maryland)
Stone Hall (Cockeysville, Maryland)

Stone Hall is a historic home located at Cockeysville, Baltimore County, Maryland, United States. It is a manor house set on a 248-acre (1.00 km2) estate that was originally part of a 4,200-acre (17 km2) tract called Nicholson's Manor. It was patented by William Nicholson of Kent County, Maryland in 1719. The property in what is now known as the Worthington Valley was split up in 1754 and sold in 1050-acre lots to Roger Boyce, Corbin Lee, Brian Philpot, and Thinsey Johns. The house known as Stone Hall was built on the 360-acre plantation bought by Thomas Gent, in 1775 from Philpot. Gent served as a colonel in the Baltimore Militia during the Revolutionary War. The house was built in four section beginning in the late eighteenth century: the initial stage consisted of a 1+1⁄2-story fieldstone structure built before 1783; the north and south wings were added between 1783 and 1798; and the 2+1⁄2-story, gable-roofed, fieldstone main block at the north end. During the later years as a working plantation in the antebellum period, the 1+1⁄2-story structure was likely used as a separate kitchen. Other outbuildings would have included slave quarters. Many of these were likely kept after emancipation to be used by sharecroppers. The last section of the mansion, a 1+1⁄2-story fieldstone addition, was built about 1930, probably after the property was bought by Garnet and Salina Hulings. Also on the property is a barn, carriage house, and a blacksmith shop.The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1973.

Butler, Maryland
Butler, Maryland

Butler is an unincorporated community in Baltimore County, Maryland, United States. It is bordered to the west by Glyndon, to the east by Sparks, to the south by Cockeysville and to the north by Upperco. It is often referred to as "Worthington Valley". For almost a century, Butler has served as home to many equestrian events, including the Grand Nationals and the Hunt Cup. The history of the town is unknown. However, it has served as home to many of the state's oldest and wealthiest families for at least 150 years. Butler also serves as home to two very historic churches. St. John's Episcopal Church serves as the burial place for many of Maryland's politicians from the late 18th, 19th, and early 20th centuries. Also, Black Rock Primitive Baptist Church is the site of the historic "Black Rock Address" which occurred on September 28, 1832. The community of Butler consists of a fire station, saddlery, liquor store, general store, post office (which is attached to the general store), a bike-and-coffee shop, and roughly five other smaller shops and businesses. At least two residences raise cattle, and many more raise and breed horses. Most of the area's land is preserved and home to historic landmark houses/estates, making it one of the most picturesque places in Baltimore County. It forms a small commercial crossroads in the Western Run-Belfast Road Historic District. The district was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1979.

DigiBarn Computer Museum
DigiBarn Computer Museum

The DigiBarn Computer Museum, or simply DigiBarn, is a computer history museum in Boulder Creek, California, United States. The museum is housed in a 90-year-old barn constructed from old-growth Redwood in the Santa Cruz Mountains, which is adjacent to Silicon Valley. It was co-founded by Bruce Damer and Allan Lundell on May 7, 2001. The primary focus of the museum's collection is on the birth and evolution of personal, interactive computing, starting with the LINC (1962), considered by some to be the first true personal computer, and leading on up through the homebrew microcomputer revolution of the 1970s, the propagation of personal computing to homes and businesses in the 1980s and the spread of networked computing in the 1990s. The Digibarn does have a few large machines on display such as a Cray-1 supercomputer. One notable point is that a large number of the Digibarn artifacts are available to visitors in a hands-on fashion, allowing them to boot up, load software and interact with the machines. The Digibarn collection has mainly been donated by individuals and companies in nearby Silicon Valley and around the world. The Digibarn has a major focus on the legacy of Xerox and the birth of the graphical user interface with a large collection of Apple products, although other historic computer systems are featured, including the Atari 400, Osborne 1, Kaypro II and the IBM 5150 (IBM PC). As of December 2021, most of the collection is on a long-term loan at the System Source Computer Museum.
