ATTORNEY ADVERTISING
The Town of Hillsdale is a rural community that was established in 1788. Henry Knox, a military officer commissioned by George Washington, transported 59 cannons from captured forts on Lake Champlain along trails through the area in 1776 after the American Revolution broke out. The Henry Knox Trail is marked from Fort Ticonderoga to the Continental Army camp near Boston, Massachusetts, to commemorate the efforts of his military campaign.
