Historic Marker to Honor Schoharie Cannon

SCHOHARIE — The Schoharie County Historical Society and Old Stone Fort Museum, in partnership with Schoharie Central School, will unveil a new historic marker commemorating the Schoharie Cannon on Wednesday, October 8, 2025, at 1:15PM.

The Schoharie Cannon was one of the replica guns added to the USS Constitution during her 1907 restoration. After being removed during a later restoration, the cannon was brought to Schoharie in 1928 and has remained an important part of the community’s history ever since.

“We are so excited to honor this iconic Schoharie landmark and the history it represents,” said Mary Johnson, Director of the Old Stone Fort Museum.

The ceremony will take place on the grounds of Schoharie Central School, where the cannon is located. The event is open to the public and will bring together community members, students, and local partners to recognize this piece of both regional and national history.
