There are an additional 30 Knox Trail markers in New York State for a grand total of 56.

On RT71 right at the state line of Massachusetts and New York. The last New York marker is the other side of this one.
First of the markers in Massachusetts, and the last to be waymarked. I georeferenced all 26 in 2004 before I started geocaching, but did not take any photos.

All the Massachusetts, except one in Wayland, look like this one. All the New York ones look like the opposite side of this one. But many of the New York ones are broken, stolen, and/or moved to unknown locations as described in the accompanying web site.

Visit Instructions:
When logging a Massachusetts Historic Marker, we ask that you not only describe your visit, but to upload a picture from it. The picture does not have to be of the marker - one picture of the marker is enough. But a photo of you standing next to the marker or a photograph the subject of the marker - those are examples of possible photographs to upload.
