DESCRIPTION:Sunday\, January 11 from 3:30-5PM\nat the Blandford Fairgrounds (10 North Street\, Blandford)\n— FREE EVENT INCLUDING DONUTS\, HOT CHOCOLATE & CIDER — \nExperience a pivotal moment in Blandford’s history! \n250 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. \nLet’s do it again and commemorate their legacy. \n• Warm up by a crackling bonfire\, grab a seat\, donut and hot drink. \n• 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. \n• We’ll wrap things up with some genuine thunder and smoke – a Revolutionary war guard will fire several cannon rounds! \nIf 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 our website\, www.blandfordhistoricalsociety.org the morning of the event) and re-schedule for a later date. \nBlandford\, Massachusetts is a small town with a big history. Let’s celebrate it! \nVisit us online at www.blandfordhistorical society.org or follow us on Facebook.
