Ye Trodden Path

Tracing the Old Knox Trail Through Sandisfield and Otis with Tom Ragusa

Join us for our final talk in this series about the Knox Trail where Tom Ragusa will discuss how he has traced and marked the route of the old road for 8 miles, and his effort to list the road on the National Register. This is the longest undisturbed stretch of the historic road in Western Massachusetts.

Tom Ragusa has spent almost twenty years researching and documenting the location of the old “Great Road” road through Sandisfield and Otis. This road was used by Henry Knox and countless others through “The Greenwoods.” He retired from Mass. DCR after 42 years, is a long term member of the Otis Historical Commission, and is one of the authors of the upcoming book, Ye Trodden Path.

This talk will be held at the Monterey Library and will also be available to watch on Zoom. A zoom link will be sent out to everyone who registers in advance.

This is the last in a series of programs at the Monterey Library in 2026 commemorating the Knox Trail 250.
