Unique Pair of Cannons go on Display at Ulysses S. Grant National Historic Site. Two Civil War era cannons will be unveiled. These 24-pounder siege and garrison howitzer cannons, while similar to many on display at battlefield sites throughout the country, are unique in that they are sequentially numbered.
The cannons have belonged to the Busch family since the early 1900s and will be on loan to the park for display throughout the Civil War Sesquicentennial.
