Cannon Returns to Saratoga Battlefield

An original Revolutionary War era 6-lb cannon was unveiled in a celebratory event at Saratoga Battlefield on Friday, November 15. The cannon was captured during the 1777 Battles of Saratoga, likely used in the War of 1812 and then moved to various places on the east coast over the last 200 years, before being returned to the Saratoga Battlefield. The event featured cannon and musket firings, chronicles of its role in the battles as well as its fateful journey over the last 200 years.
