C. Daniel Boone Memorial Reservation is located on the top of Town Hill on the land surrounding Baker's Pond. The Reverend Daniel Boone, a direct descendant of famed frontiersman Danel Boone, was the minister at Ascension Memorial Church from 1941 to 1954. He was both politically active, a part of the movement to establish the town manager form of government in town (1951) and the chairman of the newly created Planning Board (1954), and ecumenically minded in his service to all the people of Ipswich.
He loved the natural beauty of Ipswich and worked hard to protect it, just as he loved the feeling of the community working together. He used to walk from the rectory on High Street up the hill to Baker's Pond which was to him a special place. When he died in 1957, the Rotary Club of which he had been an active member, asked the town to make the town-owned land into a park to be named for the Reverend Boone.
Drive in to the parking lot and see the park marker-- beyond the marker -is a concrete bench....this is where it will be.
