Wow wow wow!! An extraordinary even happened yesterday at Hillsdale Fire Company # 1. In honor of the 250th anniversary of the Knox Expedition,
when General Knox ( a 25 year old bookseller from Boston) led the Continental army and brought 60 tons of canon and other artillery from Fort Ticonderoga to the Boston area. His trail lead through the Berkshires and Columbia county, including through our town of Hillsdale. There were reenactors, who explained and showed us how it was done. and Assemblyperson were on hand to present our town supervisor , along with local officials, certificates to commemorate this special event.
The turnout was trluy unbelievable. When we arrived, it felt like Tanglewood for a James Taylor concert- no joke! Bravo !
Who knew Irwin and I would land in a place so rich in history, and so pivotal in the ultimate success of the American Revolution. The poignance of this event is only heightened by our current stance.
Thank you to everybody, whose dedication and hard work made this happen.
