Description
Please join Ranger Ken for a come-and-go pop-up discussion about artillery crews, their field pieces, and how artillery units had become a major element of the American Civil War and beyond. This is not a firing presentation but this is still a hands-on-program. Meet us outside the visitor center main entrance by the artillery monuments.
