Tavern Talk: Henry Knox and his Noble Train of Artillery: A 2-Part Series

Experience the Tavern Tradition -- history shared out loud among neighbors.   Part 1 (1/26): Ethan Allen, Benedict Arnold and the Gibraltar of North America" Part 2 (2/9): "The Noble Train Arrives: Knox, Washington and the End of the Siege." As 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 cannon become available in the first place? In 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." In 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. Join us as we celebrate that 'Noble Train' of artillery that gave Americans their first major victory of the Revolution. "Dan Breen's descriptions are so vivid, you can feel the wind on your face!" <a href="https://www.eventbrite.com/e/tavern-talk-henry-knox-and-his-noble-train-of-artillery-a-2-part-series-tickets-1979762443763?aff=ebdsshcopyurl&amp;utm-campaign=social&amp;utm-content=attendeeshare&amp;utm-medium=discovery&amp;utm-term=listing&amp;utm-source=cp">https://www.eventbrite.com/e/tavern-talk-henry-knox-and-his-noble-train-of-artillery-a-2-part-series-tickets-1979762443763?aff=ebdsshcopyurl&amp;utm-campaign=social&amp;utm-content=attendeeshare&amp;utm-medium=discovery&amp;utm-term=listing&amp;utm-source=cp</a> Happens on the following Dates:<ul><li>Jan 26, 2026, 7:00pm to 8:00pm Timezone: Eastern Time (US &amp; Canada)</li><li>Feb 9, 2026, 7:00pm to 8:00pm Timezone: Eastern Time (US &amp; Canada)</li></ul>
