Youth at the Fort Point Cannon

Kirke Wrench/National Park Service

Join us at the cannon across the parade ground from the Fort Point entrance and learn how the Fort Point's soldiers came together to protect the San Francisco Bay. Afterwards, you and other visitors can demonstrate your knowledge and become certified Fort Point cannoneers! Meet at the Napoleon 12-pound field cannon across from the front entrance, at the blue benches. Drills usually take about 30 minutes.Scheduled demonstration times are subjected to change, check with staff upon arrival for the next available program.
