Join us for a two-day celebration commemorating Henry Knox’s historic “Noble Train of Artillery” and its passage through Monterey during the winter of 1775–76. This event highlights Monterey’s connection to the Knox Trail and offers an opportunity to explore this important moment in early American history through talks, storytelling, and a guided outdoor experience.
The Friday program begins with an evening reception at the Monterey Public Library, featuring brief introductory talks about Henry Knox’s journey, the Noble Train of Artillery, and the historical significance of the Knox Trail in the Southern Berkshires.
Saturday’s events start at the Bidwell House Museum and include short historical presentations, storytelling, and a guided hike along a preserved section of the Knox Trail in Monterey. Activities focus on the Revolutionary War history of Western Massachusetts and the original 1775–76 route taken by Henry Knox.
This event is free and open to the public. No pre-registration required. Families, history enthusiasts, and visitors exploring the Berkshires in January are all welcome.
