We are sending off our two cannons, which currently can be seen on our front porch, to be restored and preserved for generations to come.
Seed Artillery out of Altoona, Pa., will be picking up the cannons to them to their facility to begin refurbishing the cannons and they are expected to be returned in the coming spring.
Seed Artillery is known for its excellence in the industry of artillery restoration, which is why the company was chosen for the job.
