A memorial cannon stands on the town common in Penacook, New Hampshire, a common sight on New England greens honoring veterans of earlier American conflicts. Mounted on its original-style wooden carriage atop a concrete base, the piece served as both a monument and a point of civic pride. Behind it, the storefronts and porched buildings of the village's Main Street reflect the architecture and commerce of small-town New Hampshire in the mid-twentieth century. Project: 218315
