Administrative History
In 1926, as part of the one hundred and fiftieth celebration of the American Revolution, a committee was established to identify the route that General Henry Knox used to conduct an artillery train and supplies from Fort Ticonderoga to Boston in the winter of 1775-1776. The committee also made recommendations on marking the route. As a result, thirty granite markers with a bronze tablet and identical pattern were purchased by the state and installed at intervals of a few miles from Fort Ticonderoga to Hillsdale. Additional markers were erected in Massachusetts to complete the route.
