Ticonderoga 250th: A Revolutionary Celebration, a three-day series of events that combine festive holiday traditions with community pride and historical spirit.

Washington County will host a Knox commemorative parade, beginning at Fort Edward High School, proceeding to the Old Fort House then Fort Miller. As part of the procession, wreaths will be laid at Knox markers along the route.

The regional collaboration between states, counties, and historic sites will include a “cannon relay,” handing off a replica Revolutionary era cannon from place to place on its path from Fort Ticonderoga to the high ground over Boston Harbor in the winter of 1775-1776. Saratoga County will receive the cannon approximately 1:00pm. on December 13th at Dix Bridge in Hudson Crossing Park

Historian Rick Atkinson (The Fate of the Day) will be the featured guest at a reception commemorating Knox’s Noble Artillery Train in 1775-76.

Preparing the Noble Train is a weekend of hands-on activities and demonstrations of woodworking, iron work, tacking and shoeing horses and building a replica sledge like those used by Knox’s troops.

A re-enactor portraying Henry Knox will arrive at the head of Lake George on a replica bateau and be taken by a horse & cart to Fort George, where Knox actually stayed in 1775.

The Bidwell House Museum will be leading a guided hike along a stretch of Knox’s journey through Monterey.
