Taken: March 27, 2008
Caption: Gen. Henry Knox Trail Marker Detail
Additional Description: Detail of the Latham, New York (NY-20) Knox Canon Trail marker showing a young male figure driving a team of oxen. A uniformed male, probably General Knox, stands to the far right.
Recently a number of the Knox Canon Trail bronze plaques have received conservation work to restore the original sculptural detail that had been lost over time. Typically these plaques are restored using a technique developed in consultation with the National Park Service, which uses a system of air abrasive cleaning with a compound of pulverized walnut shells to attain the original finish and then they are sealed with a lacquer coating.
