North Shore Historical Museum

After the Revolutionary War ended on September 3, 1783 with the signing of the Treaty of Paris with Great Britain, America found itself as a new country, with new freedoms, new challenges and a new President, George Washington. One of Washington's first acts as the new President was to tour Long Island and thank those who had helped defeat the British. This "Grand Tour" was carefully documented in Washington's journal, but some of the places he visited have been lost in time.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, and about his connections to this area, and uncover the places he visited and learn about what is on those locations today. The history of Washington's tour of Long Island is part of the cultural and historical fabric of our island.
