Stonewall: Discover the Market, Festival, and History

The Brassica Farm Market takes place monthly on Fridays and Saturdays, the Bee Gum Festival is held every year, and seasonal operating schedules at LUMIERE may vary. If you are planning your stay around one of these events, check the relevant dates and operating periods against your travel dates. There are also recreational activities and historic sites with approximate dates from the 19th century. Whether the market, festival, seasonal activity, or history is your main focus will shape a different aspect of your planning.

Market, Community, and Event Planning

The Brassica Farm Market takes place monthly on Fridays and Saturdays. It features locally grown produce, handmade goods, and food truck offerings. Its schedule is specific for planning your stay: these are monthly market days, not a daily event. Since the schedule may change, check the market dates for your travel dates.

Curtis McCune, Jr. Community Park is open to all citizens of Stonewall. The amphitheater, pavilion, and community center are available to rent. These three rental options are a separate planning consideration for an event. If you are planning a gathering, you can check whether each facility is available to rent and inquire about its terms.

Recreational Activities and Seasonal Dates

LUMIERE offers two distinct recreational activities: a half-mile illuminated trail and a 250-foot snow tubing run. The half-mile measurement refers to the trail, while the 250 feet refers to the run; the figures therefore describe two different types of routes. Seasonal operating schedules may vary. If either activity is important to your stay, check in advance whether it will be operating during your travel period.

Bee Gum Festival and Historic Sites

The Bee Gum Festival is held every year in Stonewall, but the dates may vary. Unlike the monthly market, it is an annual event, so the specific festival date matters when planning your stay. If the festival is the reason for your trip, check the dates for the year you plan to visit before setting your stay dates around it.

Two historic landmarks in Stonewall are Buena Visita Plantation and All Saints Episcopal Church & Cemetery. Buena Visita Plantation dates to around 1850 and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. All Saints Episcopal Church & Cemetery dates to around 1887 and is also listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The approximate dates place the sites at different points in the 19th century; their names point to distinct themes: plantation history and church history. All Saints Episcopal Church & Cemetery is therefore dated approximately 37 years later than Buena Visita Plantation.
