Battery A & Battery B​

​

Relocate Visitor Center Cannon

​

The Howitzer Cannon had been sitting in the corner most likely since the refurbishment of the Torpedo Shed into a Visitor and Education Center.  In line with the Friends of Fort Knox Board of Directors' intent to enhance the educational experience for visitors, the director moved the cannon to a more prominent location with the help of volunteers and in-kind donations.  Now this display is adjacent the recreated torpedo (underwater mine).  Guests entering the Visitor Center will be staring down the business end of the cannon
