Knox Trail Commemoration Weekend

In celebration of our country’s 250th anniversary, cannons will parade from Fort Edward High School to the Old Fort House Museum on the Knox Trail.

The parade starts at 9 am at the High School but the Knox Train reenactment of the cannons on sleds pulled by horses will join the route at the bottom of the hill near the Irving Tissue entrance.

Wreaths will be laid at the monuments in front of the Hudson Falls Library, Fort Edward School, and Fort Miller Canal Lock Road. The Fort House will be open extended hours for the celebration 10 am – 4 pm.  **Please note, the wreath laying at the Hudson Falls Library will take place at 8:30 am, before the parade begins in Fort Edward.

At 10:30 am, the parade will pick up at Fort Miller.

At 1 pm, Washington County will hand off the sleds loaded with cannons to Saratoga County. This takes place in the center of the Dix Bridge in Hudson Crossing Park and will continue to the Fort Hardy Park Field of Grounded Arms along the Old Champlain Canal Towpath.

From 1 – 4 pm the Knox Festival continues in Fort Hardy Park with Historians, Draft Animal Wagon Rides, Artillery Demonstrations, Food, etc. The Visitor Center will be open,
