Geocache Description:

Small cache near two pieces of local history

PLEASE RETURN TO EXACT SPOT OR IT WILL GET LOST AGAIN!!!! THANKS!

Bring your own pencil/pen

It's been a little over a year since the cannon was sent for a new pair of legs, but he's back!

The Iron Cannon, nicknamed “Old Uncle Tom” in the olden days, was cast at the foundry that was located at the former Renseool Factory. This iron factory was a major industry in town at the time employing many men. “Old Uncle Tom” stands now, standing proudly at the corner of the first fire company in the Borough, the Mountaineer Hose Company. The cannon was fired quite extensively during our Nation’s 200th Bicentennial Celebration in 1976. This piece of history is slowly starting to decay so please be careful
