On Saturday, March 21, 2026, at 1pm, we’ll be hosting a presentation at the Springfield Armory National Historic Site that celebrates the 250th Anniversary of the Knox Trail.
The centerpiece of the event will be a documentary screening, followed by a lively discussion on the historical importance of the Knox Trail, featuring Jonathan Barkan and Ben Haley.
In a wonderful nod to history, Jonathan Barkan—who created a memorable slide show for the 1976 Knox Trail re-enactment 50 years ago—has updated his work for this milestone anniversary. He’s developed a brand-new digital slide show, complete with an original soundtrack and fresh narration.
Joining him is Ben Haley from the Massachusetts Historical Commission, whose expertise, and lectures on the history of the Knox Trail’s markers and memorials, will add even more depth to the conversation.
