As we approach the 250th anniversary of our great nation, we wanted to remind you that you can come see an original cannon from Fort Lernoult in Detroit. This gun pre dates our country by about 30 years, but was used at the fort to protect the straights of Detroit by the British during the American Revolution. Recovered from the Detroit River in 1984 it was preserved and had a carriage restored by Mike Coppernoll of Grass Lake. If you want to know more about this piece of Michigan history, stop in and see us.

Seems a while since we did an artifact post. So, a transfer from another museum is todays artifact. A Hungarian made M50 helmet that was used by the North Vietnamese Army and captured by a U.S. Marine. Notice the slight battle damage to the rim of the helmet.
