Somerville Museum presents a 2-part Tavern Talk with Dan Breen on January 26th and February 9th at Aeronaut Brewing in Somerville.

Part 1 (1/26): Ethan Allen, Benedict Arnold and the Gibraltar of North America"

Part 2 (2/9): "The Noble Train Arrives: Knox, Washington and the End of the Siege."

As the Somerville Museum continues to commemorate the 250th anniversary of the Revolution, it is time to celebrate the achievements of Henry Knox, the 25-year old Boston bookseller who, against considerable odds, somehow oversaw the transport of 59 pieces of artillery from Fort Ticonderoga across the Hudson, over the Berkshires and across the length of Massachusetts to the American army camped outside of Boston. But how did those cannon become available in the first place?

In the second part of this commemoration of Knox and the Noble Train, attendees will follow the Ticonderoga cannon over the Berkshires, across the Connecticut River and finally to Dorchester Heights, where their emplacement would finally drive Lord Howe to abandon Boston. The siege was finally over.

Tickets for both events available here!

Celebrate that 'Noble Train' of artillery that gave Americans their first major victory of the Revolution.
