Have you ever wondered how Daniel Boone lived during the Revolutionary War but found time to blaze a path to the West?
The story is more interesting than you would imagine. On Feb. 27 at 7 p.m. in the Davie County Public Library Multi-Purpose Room, Randell Jones will speak about the impact of the Revolution on the Boone family. He has authored several books, including βIn the Footsteps of Daniel Boone,β which will be available to purchase. He is also offering a free book to anyone that shows a receipt of $100 donation to Helene recovery. Find out more at https://www.randelljones.com/in-the-spirit-of-boone-disaster-relief.
Have you ever wondered about the Boone monument downtown Mocksville by the courthouse and where it came from? On March 16, 1925 it was created and installed there by a man from Farmington, Joseph Hampton Rich, who in his lifetime repeated that more than 350 times across the nation.
Join others on March 16 at 3 p.m. to commemorate the 100th anniversary of one of the original and oldest of these monuments. The expert on this massive project, Gary Marshall, will be the speaker. There will be live music and treats for all. In case of bad weather, the party will be held at the library.
