Learn about Henry Knox and see where his artillery train came through Monterey in 1776. Join the Monterey Historical Society and the Bidwell House Museum for a walk along the Knox Trail! The program begins around a bonfire at the Bidwell House as Rob Hoogs introduces the story of the Knox Trail and Henry Knox’s journey through Monterey. Participants will then carpool to Brett Road in Monterey where Rob will lead a walk on a small section of the Trail. The walking distance will be approximately one mile. As you walk, try to imagine the teamsters pulling 60 tons of cannons through these rough roads and mountains! Participants will then carpool back to the Bidwell House to return everyone to their cars at the end. Space on this walk is limited to 25 people and pre-registration is required. Please dress for the weather and wear appropriote shoes for hiking. If heavy rain is forecast for April 11, the rain date for this walk will be April 12 at 10 am.
