Courthouse Square - Hardin County - Eldora - 42.360183 by -93.098583

The cannon is a 3.67-inch Army Parrott rifle cast at the West Point Foundry in 1863 with a carriage and limber in great condition. The markings on the cannon are highlighted. In the early 1990’s, the late Gene Farmer rebuilt the carriage and limber. The cannon sets under a shelter for protection from the elements. Mr. Farmer had led efforts to provide the shelter along with restoration of the cannon and monument. The location is on the east side of the courthouse. Photos taken 1/27/08 and 5/19/20. Also included is an old undated copy of a postcard showing the cannon in a different location and without the shelter. Thanks to Danny Krock for providing this.
