Have you ever wondered what it was like to work as part of a Civil War era cannon crew? Join a ranger to learn how artillerists worked together to load and fire a cannon. This program will also offer an interactive experience, allowing visitors to participate by going through a mock cannon loading drill. The program will take place at Stankiewicz's Battery, which is located across from Tour Stop 3.
 
Programs are weather dependent and for visitor and staff safety, will be canceled due to severe weather. For questions, please call the visitor center at 931-232-5706 or send an email to e-mail us.
