Near the center of downtown Scotch Plains is a World War I cannon that was given to the town after WWII. The
gift was a thank you for residents purchasing a minimum of $20,000 in War Bonds. The resident's of Scotch Plains generously gave more than $200,000 in support of the war effort.
So as the picture shows the cannon sits in it's glory, but something is missing.
The wheels.
Because the cannon had been sitting for so long, the wooden wheels were heavily damaged. The wheels have been shipped to an Amish wheel worker in Pennsylvania to do the restoration work.
The wheels should be back on before the summer. We'll do another post (with a picture) to show the restored look of the cannon.
