“To Break the Siege: The Noble Train arrives”

Saturday, February 21, 2026
10:00 am until 4:30 pm
Hartwell Tavern

In late January 1776, a “Noble Train,” of artillery commanded by Colonel Henry Knox, arrived outside of Boston. These cannon played a key role in breaking the siege and providing the continental army with their first campaign victory in the war. We invite you to join us on February 21, 2026 at the Hartwell tavern to commemorate the 250th anniversary of Knox’s Train arriving and outfitting for battle. Come witness history come to life as the artillerists of Washington's army transport their guns via ox drawn wagons, demonstrate historic trades, and of course… conduct artillery firing demonstrations.

This event is co-sponsored by Fort Ticonderoga and the Friends of Minute Man National Park
