Old Sam Tilden Still Guards Fredericksburg
Fredericksburg residents and visitors know Old Sam Tilden, a 94 year old cannon, as a landmark that once fired during the 1894 Cleveland salute and later moved between storage and exhibit. NPS will refurbish its wheels in January, restoring the display at the Fredericksburg Information Center.
