Watch this episode of “State of the State”, where host Richard August interviews Varnum Continentals President Patrick Donovan about moving of two American Civil War cannons from the Rhode Island State House to the Varnum Memorial Armory Museum, where they are now on display for the public.
This move took place on August 5 and 6, through the efforts of several volunteer. Each cannon brings with it historically important stories about the cannons themselves and the battles they served in, the men associated with each, lives lost, and much more. Pictures of the cannons and the Rhode Island men associated with these two cannons are shown.
