Revolutionary War Cannon hidden at Barrett Farm is returned to Minuteman National Historic Park

One of the original brass cannons that was hidden at the Barrett Farm in 1775, has recently been returned to the Minuteman National Historic Park. This cannon was part of the weapons and munitions held at the farm that caused the British to march from Boston to Concord to seize. Colonel James Barrett, one our great-great.... uncles, led the Minutemen at Concord and successfully hid the weapons.
