Saratoga 250 Film Makes Broadcast Premiere on PBS

SARATOGA SPRINGS — “Henry Knox: Resolve Forged by Revolution,” a 30-minute film produced by the Campaign for Saratoga 250, made its broadcast premiere Tuesday night on local PBS station WMHT.

The film prominently features a number of locals, including Saratoga County Historian Lauren Roberts, Town of Saratoga Historian Sean Kelleher, and Siena University History Professor Jennifer Dorsey.

A mix of interviews, archival material, and filmed recreations retold the tale of General Henry Knox’s dramatic Noble Train of Artillery, which passed through Lake George, Glens Falls, Schuylerville, Saratoga, and Albany. 

Additional footage highlighted the Campaign for Saratoga 250’s collaborations with WSWHE BOCES students, who recreated the sleds Knox used hundreds of years ago, and Stewart’s Shops, which will rename one of their ice cream flavors after Knox. Scenes were also shot at Knox Fest, which took place at Fort Hardy Park in Schuylerville.

Those who missed the broadcast premiere can view the film on either the WMHT PBS Media App or on the Saratoga 250 YouTube channel, which will upload the film this weekend.
