Friends of Raymond is building 25 cannon for the Raymond battlefield (22 Federal, 3 Confederate cannon fought on May 12, 1863 at Raymond).  The cost of restoration of the cast-iron cannon carriages, which are surplus, century-old replicas donated by Vicksburg National Military Park is $1,000, and the cost of a cannon barrel is $1,500, for a total cost of $2,500 per cannon.

For $2,500 you can sponsor a cannon and have your name placed on the trail of the carriage, just as was often done for patrons during the Civil War.

To sponsor a cannon, make a tax-deductible donation with your credit card or PayPal account:
