Do you enjoy the thunder and smoke of Civil War cannon?  Many people do but there is much more to cannons than just the booming sound. On each Saturday in May at 11:00 a.m. and 2:00 p.m. Fort Smith National Historic Site will present a program about the realities faced by soldiers in battle during the Civil War and fire a replica cannon. Admission is free.
