Knox 250th Cannon Salute & Bonfire Celebration
Let’s do it again and commemorate their legacy.
A FREE EVENT WITH DONUTS, HOT CHOCOLATE & CIDER
• Warm up by a crackling bonfire, grab a seat, donut and hot drink.
• Hear a 30-minute account of Knox’s journey through Blandford told by a colorful cast of characters in their own words, including General Knox, locals, and citizen Solomon Brown who stepped in with his oxen to help and into history.
• We’ll wrap things up with some genuine thunder and smoke – a Revolutionary war guard will fire several cannon rounds!
If you’re wanting more, stop by BHS afterwards to see a slideshow of the 200th anniversary 300-mile reenactment and meet locals who participated. In the event of bad weather, we will cancel (check https://blandfordhistoricalsociety.org the morning of the event) and re-schedule for a later date.
