1878 -- A Grand Match Race at the Knox Trotting Park

Two inches by three inches, this promotional card to the match race at the Knox Trotting Park may be one of the few pieces of memorabilia left of harness racing in Thomaston and Rockland. Called the Knox Trotting Park, the principal owners of the park were from Rockland. However, the park was actually located in Thomaston. The park was also the site of a small airport and today the land is taken up by a movie theater.
