Hosmer Open House featuring a cannon from Bunker Hill!

10.6.24 @ 2:00 pm - 5:00 pm

Free

The Acton Historical Society will host a visit of a British cannon at the Hosmer House.

This cannon was cast between 1760 and 1770. It was acquired by a local militia company in May of 1775. The ship on which it was located became mired in the mud at Chelsea Creek. This cannon and 3 others taken from the ship were later used by American forces to fight off the British at Bunker Hill.

Come and see this “survivor” and learn about its discovery to restoration!
