The Reverend William Blackstone was the first permanent English settler of the River Valley that now bears his name.
Ranger John McNiff will appear at the Cumberland Library as the Reverend Blackstone in a costumed interpretation that will allow you to get a better understanding of the man known to some as the Sage of the Wilderness.
