Daniel Boone Day commemorates frontiersman's first visit to Kentucky

[Robert59]

Daniel Boone Day, celebrated annually on June 7, commemorates the day in 1769 that the famed frontiersman first laid eyes on the forests and valleys of what is now Kentucky.

The holiday was founded in the 19th century by the Kentucky Historical Society. The date, June 7, was chosen because it was the day in 1769 that Boone first entered what is now Kentucky.

I was religious about watching the Daniel Boone show on TV when I was a kid. Interesting man.
