Photos on Friday: Civil War Cannons at Manassas National Battlefield Park

In the Northern Virginia region (including Maryland and lower Pennsylvania), a lot of battle action took place during the Civil War. The National Park Service (NPS) has done a remarkable job preserving this era in history. Today's Photos on Friday takes a look at the Civil War era cannons on display at Manassas National Battlefield Park.
