Join the Monterey Historical Society, Monterey Library and the Bidwell House Museum for two final programs to celebrate the 250^th anniversary of Henry Knox’s Noble Trail of Artillery through the Southern Berkshires. Beginning in December of 1775 from Fort Ticonderoga in New York, twenty five year old Henry Knox led an expedition to move 60 tons of captured British artillery to the Continental army in Boston in order to force the British to evacuate the city. Knox’s journey took three months and came through the Berkshires in January of 1776, during the depths of winter, using little more than ox and horse-drawn sledges and manpower. On Saturday April 11^th at 10 am, meet at the Bidwell House Museum for the start of a guided walk on the Knox Trail. The program begins around a bonfire at the Bidwell House as Rob Hoogs introduces the story of the Knox Trail and Henry Knox’s journey through Monterey. Participants will then carpool to Brett Road in Monterey where Rob will lead a walk on a small section of the Trail. The walking distance will be approximately one mile. As you walk, try to imagine the teamsters pulling 60 tons of cannons through these rough roads and mountains! Participants will then carpool back to the Bidwell House to return everyone to their cars at the end. If heavy rain is forecast for April 11, the rain date for this walk will be April 12 at 10 am. The walk is limited to 25 participants and pre-registration on the Museum website is required,
