Old Fort Loudoun Cannon Remains a Winchester Relic
A 1756 fort built by George Washington in Winchester, Virginia, the Fort Loudoun redoubt, left only fragments now. The ancient cannon, once a key piece of armament, is valued as a historic witness tied to Washington and the valley’s early frontier era. The gun, found on a shop sidewalk for 29 dollars, may join the local Historical Society after recent purchase approvals.
