USA Civil War Cannon Ball still wedged in the wall of the Old Stone House, Manassas, Virginia


It's almost certain that that ball was mortared in by someone, although it probably was found nearby.

  1. Right down the road from my office. That's not the only projectile stuck in that house.

    1. Apparently that house took a lot of fire during the Battle of Manassas.

  2. On the eastern shore of Maryland is the town of Crisfield. There is an old brick building, a church maybe, with a cannon ball from the war of 1812. It is at least 2 stories up, so not just put there afterward.
