New exhibit in the Keys highlights historic Stonewall Riot

A new exhibit commemorating the historic Stonewall Inn is coming to Key West this week.

The Key West Art and Historical Society is taking visitors back to June 1969. The exhibit immerses you in the gritty New York City dive ahead of the riots, widely credited as sparking the modern LGBTQ+ rights movement.

The exhibit is on temporary loan from the Stonewall National Museum Archives and Library through July 5 at the Key West Museum of Art and History.
