Join us on Saturday, August 14th at 10am as the Lincoln Memorial Shine dedicates its new cannon in Smiley Park! Thanks to the generosity of a local family, the Lincoln Shrine now stewards a reproduction Model 1857 Napoleon 12-pounder field gun dated 1864.
The dedication ceremony will include the participation of Civil War reenactors and will feature an artillery demonstration by the 1st Pennsylvania Light Artillery who will fire the inaugural shot. The Lincoln Shrine will open to visitors following the program.
Visitors of all ages are welcome. Admission is free. The Lincoln Memorial Shrine is located at 125 W. Vine Street in Smiley Park, directly south of A.K. Smiley Public Library. If you have any questions, call (909)798-7632 or email heritage@akspl.org. You won’t want to miss it!
