Experience a pivotal moment in Blandford’s history! 250 years ago ON THIS DAY, Blandford townspeople greeted General Henry Knox and his “Noble Train of Artillery” on their historic journey as they pulled the cannons from Fort Ticonderoga to Boston.

Let’s do it again and commemorate their legacy.

A FREE EVENT WITH DONUTS, HOT CHOCOLATE & CIDER
• Warm up by a crackling bonfire, grab a seat, donut and hot drink.
• Hear a 30-minute account of Knox’s journey through Blandford told by a colorful cast of characters in their own words, including General Knox, locals, and citizen Solomon Brown who stepped in with his oxen to help and into history.
• We’ll wrap things up with some genuine thunder and smoke – a Revolutionary war guard will fire several cannon rounds!

If you’re wanting more, stop by BHS afterwards to see a slideshow of the 200th anniversary 300-mile reenactment and meet locals who participated. In the event of bad weather, we will cancel (check https://blandfordhistoricalsociety.org the morning of the event) and re-schedule for a later date.
