The Bull Run
Whisper's town — statue to tavern to general store.
In 1665, the story goes, Richard Smythe rode a bull named Whisper from sunrise to sunset and kept every acre he circled. The town still swears by it — there's a statue of the bull to prove it. Seven stops across the township he won: colonial taverns, a working 1798 grist mill, and the oldest general store in America. This one's a driving hunt — stops span the town, just like Whisper's ride.
The stops

Find anything in the building about Smithtown history — old map, town record, local shelf — and photo it. Quietly; it's a library.
The stagecoach stopped here in the 1700s. Most convincing colonial-traveler-who-just-got-off-a-terrible-road pose on the grounds.
Photo at the trailhead or Willow Pond — the whole team pointing at one thing a founder's descendant would recognize.
Hike the Greenbelt spur to the 1798 grist mill at the head of Stump Pond. Water-wheel arm-roll photo, full team.
Oldest continuously operating general store in America (1857). Buy any piece of penny candy — the receipt (or the candy) is your proof.
