SAVE OUR
CANNON!
Please help save our local history! This
cannon sits across the street from the City Post Office. In March of
1886 it was
used to celebrate the opening of the Falmouth Bridge. That same year,
the cannon
was used in a salute for President Cleveland by our local militia who
arranged
to fire Twenty-One guns in honor of the new President. Fast forward to
today, the
cannon’s carriage is in an advanced deteriorated state after standing
as a proud
sentinel and symbol of our City’s remarkable history for well over a
hundred
years. This cannon should be restored to its original splendor and have
the
carriage replaced with an accurate reproduction of the type used by
this model 1841
cannon. We need your help! The Fredericksburg Guard Association, an IRS recognized veteran’s association is taking donations to insure that it can be preserved and remain a living part of our history for years to come. “SAVE OUR CANNON!” DONATIONS Cannon Patriot: ($500+
