CEIE: DP Walk & Talk – Jim Heron
Join historian Jim Heron, author of Denning’s Point: A Hudson River History, for an educational and enlightening tour of Denning’s Point.
Jim Heron, Project Historian for Beacon Institute, is an author, historian and popular public speaker perhaps most well-known for his book titled.Denning’s Point, A Hudson River History, released by Blackdome Press in 2006.
After retiring from the active Episcopal priesthood in 2003, Heron began a second career at the Institute, researching the history of Denning's Point for what was originally intended to be a brief historical pamphlet for visitors. The results of his research revealed an unexpectedly rich and dramatic history.
A consummate story-teller and public speaker, Heron holds a doctoral degree from Drew University and has taught at both high school and college level institutions. He is available for public outreach presentations about the history of Denning’s Point.
