Double-Barreled Cannon
Athens, GA 30601
Originally designed by John Gilleland of Athens and built at the local foundry in 1863, this one-of-a-kind Civil War cannon was designed to shoot two balls simultaneously with projectiles connected by an eight foot chain, intended to topple approaching infantrymen. The weapon failed and was preserved, instead of dismantled. The cannon has been featured by "Ripley's Believe It or Not."
