Join Jim Heron on Saturday, July 30 at 10a.m. 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.
