Waltham and Weston, two communities I represent, deserve their fair share of credit for their roles in the American Revolution. Both sit along the Henry Knox Trail, named for the route that Colonel Knox followed as he hauled his “Noble Train of Artillery” from upstate New York to Boston for the Continental Army. When Knox passed through in 1776, both Waltham and Weston provided aid.
At a Revolution 250 event, I presented plaques honoring each community to Pam Fox, president of the Weston Historical Society (and pictured above), and Wayne McCarthy, president of the Waltham Historical Society.
