The Knox Trail: Following the Footsteps of Surveyor Nathaniel Austin of Sheffield

  • Bushnell-Sage Library 48 Main Street Sheffield, MA, 01257 United States (map)

Local historian Thomas Ragusa, Otis resident and Knox Trail expert, has spent 12 years mapping the part of the 300-mile trail through Otis and Sandisfield. The trail was used by General Henry Knox to transport cannons from Ticonderoga to Boston during the Revolutionary War. He’ll discuss this historic trail and its connection to Sheffield through surveyor Nathaniel Austin.
