Visit a 1635 gunpowder storage site—later known as the “spark of the Revolution”—and climb a historic tower with sweeping views of the Boston Basin to discover what placed Somerville at the center of the early war.\nAlong the way\, your guide will highlight lesser-known sites\, helping you reimagine today’s landscape and discover the stories behind those marked and unmarked places people walk by everyday.\nThis program is sponsored by an MA250 grant from the Massachusetts Office of Travel and Tourism

SUMMARY:Tavern Talk: Henry Knox and his Noble Train of Artillery\, a 2-Part Series
DESCRIPTION:Experience the Tavern Tradition — history shared out loud among neighbors. \nSomerville Museum presents a 2-part Tavern Talk with Dan Breen on January 26th and February 9th at Aeronaut Brewing in Somerville. \nPart 1 (1/26): Ethan Allen\, Benedict Arnold and the Gibraltar of North America”\nPart 2 (2/9): “The Noble Train Arrives: Knox\, Washington and the End of the Siege.” \nAs we continue to commemorate the 250th anniversary of the Revolution\, it is time to celebrate the achievements of Henry Knox\, the 25-year old Boston bookseller who\, against considerable odds\, somehow oversaw the transport of 59 pieces of artillery from Fort Ticonderoga across the Hudson\, over the Berkshires and across the length of Massachusetts to the American army camped outside of Boston. But how did those cannons become available in the first place? \nIn the first installment of a two-part series\, we will tell the story of Ticonderoga and its improbable capture\, followed by the arrival of Knox six months later. Then we will begin the epic tale of the journey of the Noble Train\, following it down the ‘Queen of American Lakes'” towards “the River that Flows Both Ways.” \nIn the second part of our commemoration of Knox and the Noble Train\, we will follow the Ticonderoga cannon over the Berkshires\, across the Connecticut River and finally to Dorchester Heights\, where their emplacement would finally drive Lord Howe to abandon Boston. The siege was finally over. \n“Dan Breen’s descriptions are so vivid\, you can feel the wind on your face!”
