Cannons at Old Fort Madison Site
There are two cannons at the site of Old Fort Madison. The cannons flank the chimney that remains from the old fort. These are 6 pounder bronze field guns, M1841. The location is easily confused with the reconstructed Old Fort Madison which is in a different location in Riverview Park. This site is close to the street (Highway 61) and RR tracks. Photos taken 12/29/07 and 10/5/20.
