This is a follow-up to our previous adventure on the Religious Freedom Hike and 20-mile hike. This is an opportunity to help this community and learn more about the history of Queens. This will be led by a lead historian, who will also provide a tour of the museum and exhibits and talk about Daniel Beard. Daniel Carter "Uncle Dan" Beard was an American illustrator, author, youth leader, Georgist and social reformer who founded the Sons of Daniel Boone in 1905, which Beard later merged with the Boy Scouts of America. His life long commitment to Scouting is inspiring. With a good showing of Scouts, Scouters and family, the work is expected to be light. Unfortunately, we will not do a hike afterwards.
