Model 1842

Used in war with Mexico-1846. Re-bored and rifled about 1861 to use 3.8 in. James or Hotchkiss shells indicating Civil War use. Mr. Marion Humphries, a local jeweler and businessman, was instrumental in fitting the cannon with a complete new carriage. This was completed on September 3, 1994. All labor, material, and money were donated by many area citizens.
