Program Description

Event Details

One of George Washington’s first acts as the new President was to come to Long Island to tour the island and to thank those who had helped in the defeat of the British. This “Grand Tour” was carefully documented in Washington’s journal, but some of the places he visited have been lost in time. Celebrating 250 years of American History, join Eco-Photo Explorers for a fascinating historical adventure as we trace the route of Washington’s tour. Along the way, we will share some stories about his visit, about his connections to this area, and uncover the places he visited and learn about what is at those locations today.
