Beginning at 10:00 view the 1976 commemorative quilt created from embroidered panels submitted by Massachusetts students from towns along the Henry Knox Trail.
Then at 11:00AM, local historian Dennis Picard will share some details of this wintry expedition as it passed from the Massachusetts town of North Egremont through Springfield, Palmer, and on to Boston. Though a piece of our local lore, some parts of this saga are still debated and remain controversial. Dennis has a personal connection with this event in our history, as he participated in one portion of the recreation of this trek during the bicentennial of 1976.
