"Yankee Siege" is a world-record holding trebuchet; it resides in this medieval-theme compound in Greenfield, NH. The grounds are filled with creative fabrications in metal, stone and wood. See 'nearest waymarks' for the full story.
Once you've taken in the 67-foot catapult, and the crane-assisted 14-foot diameter mace, you might notice the smaller details - like this 12-foot high iron and stone gate, topped with fierce dragon heads; and the undulating serpents with gaping jaws and bodies of ship anchor chain...
I recommend visiting in October, when the crew tests the trebuchet on weekends. Watch pumpkins fly!
