The cannon located outside the Skagit County Courthouse in Mount Vernon, WA, is a historic relic, often identified as a Watervliet Arsenal piece, serving as a landmark on the courthouse grounds. The cannon stands as a memorial to Civil War veterans, part of a tradition of placing artillery at public spaces to honor military history.
