ROCKPORT — Marge Dodge, head librarian at the Rockport Public Library, has announced an exhibit featuring Montpelier, the home of Gen. Henry Knox. The Friends of Montpelier in Thomaston have lent this display to the library for March; it can be seen in the “Maine” Room of the library.

The exhibit gives some background on the life of Knox, a Revolutionary War hero, and displays photographs of his high-styled Federal mansion, Montpelier.

Views are offered of the dining room, billiard room, the oval room, and some of the finery that completed the mansion.

The exhibit is on display during regular library hours.
