Save Our Historic Cannon
Fort Sumter and Fort Moultrie possess one of the leading collections of historic artillery in the United States. Our cannon, both large and small, need your help. By supporting our Cannon Preservation & Restoration Program, you will ensure that these sentinels of power and freedom remain viable for generations to come.
These cannons serve as tangible connections to the past, each telling a story of military strategy, historical events, and the lives of those who served. Through this initiative, the cannons undergo careful conservation to prevent deterioration and preserve their structural integrity, ensuring they remain a vital part of the parks' historical heritage. With a five-year plan for ongoing conservation, this project relies on the generosity of supporters to sustain the preservation efforts and maintain these artifacts as central elements of the park experience.
