Confirming that the Daniel Boone statue at the Shrine Club is gone. The Shriners have left the building, and there's a "For Sale" sign out front. Inexplicably (to me, anyway) the "Tis Here" sign tis still there.

This is a bonus from shrine club to the Mason grave site.

Visited on a long rainy drive up the I-95 from fla to ny. Totally worth a detour!
[gigi, 05/31/2013]It appears they haven't restored Shriner symbols on his drum fez since his last repainting.
Daniel Boone with the Oil Drum Fez is still in great condition. Directions provided were excellent!
