NARROWSBURG, NY — Local history was on display at Ten Mile River History Day, July 25 at the Ten Mile River Scout Camps.

Sullivan County Historian John Conway spoke on the 1763 massacre at Ten Mile River and Elaine Freed Lindenblatt talked about the Red Apple Rest and her new book, “Stop at the Red Apple.” The National Park Service lectured on the history of Zane Gray and the Battle of Minisink. There was a talk on Boy Scouts of America founder Dan Beard and a hands-on presentation with artifacts from the French and Indian War.

The Ten Mile River Scout Museum featured new exhibits on the 1969 Woodstock Festival and local wildlife.
