What did your history teacher leave out?
Quite a bit, as it turns out.

This is a free, public program and everyone is welcome. Scan the QR code on our event flyer to register, or just show up — walk-ins are always welcome.

Monday, July 20 | Doors at 6:30 pm | Program 7:00–8:00 pm

Tuesday, May 26, 6:30pm only.

Join us for a screening of the WMHT PBS Special and panel discussion with Sean Kelleher, Historian, Town of Saratoga, and John DiNuzzo, President of Lake George Battlefield Park Alliance.

In the winter of 1775 & 1776 one patriot led a dangerous journey cloaked in uncertainty, navigating snow, mountains and doubt to move the "Noble Train of Artillery." Experience the courage, conviction, and spirit that liberated Boston and inspires an enduring legacy 250 years later. This is the Story of Henry Knox!
