This big gun is located in Mayfield's Union Rural Cemetery. There is two entrances to this cemetery but the one across from Mayfield School is almost always locked. From Rt.30 in Mayfield turn onto Second Ave. then turn onto Maple Ave. The entrance is one the corner. You won't need your GPS for this one. From the entrance you'll see the Civil War Monument. It's the tallest one here and straight ahead from the entrance. Behind that is the cannon, one row over. I wish I could tell you more about it but all I see is the numbers "33" & "No. 58, 62 - I - I4" The "I4" part looks like there may be another number there. If anyone knows a good cannon identification site then please drop me a line so I can update all of my cannon waymarks. Happy Waymarking, Swizzle & Family
