The noble train of artillery, also known as the Knox Expedition, was an expedition led by Continental Army Colonel Henry Knox to transport sixty tons of heavy weaponry that had been captured at Fort Ticonderoga to the Continental Army camps outside Boston—a journey of 300 miles—during the winter of 1775–76. The train passed through the forests and swamps of the then lightly inhabited Berkshire towns of Alford, North Egremont, Great Barrington, Monterey, and Otis. To commemorate the 250th anniversary of this monumental journey, the Berkshire County Historical Society welcomes costumed living-history interpreters from Fort Ticonderoga to Arrowhead on September 27. Learn about the expedition and how oxen were used to pull the cannons. Hear from interpreters portraying frontier traders, oxen drivers, timber men, carpenters, blacksmiths, and merchants what it was like to be part of this historic event.  This free event begins at noon. It is supported by The Feigenbaum Foundation, Greylock Federal Credit Union, and Housatonic Heritage
