Program Description

Event Details

Come hear the inspiring story of a little-known hero’s pivotal role in the American Revolution. During the brutal winter of 1775-1776, an untested Boston bookseller named Henry Knox commandeered an oxen train hauling sixty tons of cannons and other artillery from Fort Ticonderoga. He and his men journeyed some three hundred miles over treacherous terrain to supply George Washington for his attack on British troops. The result was the British surrender of Boston and the first major victory for the Colonial Army. Henry Knox's Noble Train brings to life the events and people at a time when the ragtag American rebels were in a desperate situation.
