December 6, 1775, was Henry Knox’s first full day at Fort Ticonderoga, surveying the artillery stockpiled at Ticonderoga. Exactly 250 years later, watch Henry Knox at Fort Ticonderoga selecting through the captured guns of Ticonderoga, Crown Point, St. Jean, and Chambly. Experience the science of artillery as soldiers inspect these big guns before scaling them, dramatically cleaning them with the explosive force of gunpowder. Follow the first leg of the Noble Train of Artillery as Fort Ticonderoga assembles the largest number of period vehicles since 1775, with oxen and horses, to recreate the first leg of Henry Knox’s journey.
