The North Adams Historical Society will hold its annual Siege of Fort Massachusetts commemoration on the deck at the Holiday Inn, 40 Main St., future home of the North Adams Museum of History and Science. The actual siege took place August 19-20, 1746. President Charles Cahoon will welcome all. Wendy Champney, author of “The Forgotten Ledge of Fort Massachusetts,” will describe the new model of the Fort recently constructed by her husband Michael and soon to be displayed in the museum. Justyna Carlson, NAHS secretary, will acknowledge the 160th anniversary of the planting of the Perry Elm on the barracks site via Society collection postcards and read “Captivity,” the poem by Annie W. McMillin which appeared in the 1895 fundraising issue of the Transcript as local women attempted to raise money to rebuild a replica of the fort. The observance is free and open to the public.
