I used to do a lot of model building. This cannon is about the only thing left of them. Some have been collected in a little museum in the southwest corner of the state, VanHorns Museum in Marmarth. I know because while living in Mandan I had a phone call from them wanting more. I don’t know which ones they have that they’ve acquired from somewhere. We were in that museum once, and I was struck by how neat and well-kept it was. A gentleman in the Sisseton area turned some brass barrels for me, and I repaid him with a finished cannon.
