All That’s Old is New Again – Honoring the Past While Looking to the Future

We are planning new events, expecting more visitors, creating new collaborations, extending a welcoming hand to other organizations, and rolling out excitement in the New Year in support of our next century.

Check our site often for upcoming events. We hope you will join us over the course of the year with your friends, family, neighbors, summer visitors, and service members.

Each visit, each event, each property improvement in the New Year is planned as an underpinning of our yearlong Centenary Celebration in 2029. Join us on every step of the adventure.

What you don’t know about Henry Knox is a lot.

He was there. At Trenton. Brandywine. Valley Forge. And Yorktown. Henry Knox was there. He was Chief of Artillery. He was the one who yelled: “Fire!” For eight and a half long bloody years, he was there. Right in the thick of it.

Knox earned the respect and life-long friendship of George Washington, was his right-hand man throughout the war, stood beside him crossing the Delaware, and served in his cabinet. He may not have signed the Declaration of Independence, but he sure as heck did risk his neck to make it possible.

Henry Knox was somebody, still is somebody, you should totally know.
