These cannon have been in my hometown since before the Civil War, but Fort Phoenix itself was originally built in what is now #Fairhaven between 1775 and 1777, only to be destroyed by British troops in September 1778. There are five of these Seacoast Defense guns here. They are fired with blank charges of black powder a few times a year. (I hold a #Massachusetts cannon firing license.) #FortPhoenix #Cannon #History #FairhavenMA #SouthcoastMA #BuzzardsBay

I'm preparing a new historical program called Dreadful Medicine to be presented weekly at Fort Phoenix in #Fairhaven #Massachusetts during the summer. It will include discussion and demonstrations of medical practices by a barber surgeon around the time of the American Revolution. #history #reenacting #18thcentury #southcoastma #fairhavenma #fortphoenix #barbersurgeon #dentistry
