Since
Murfreesboro's original name was Cannonsburgh, it seems appropriate that
this collection of buildings in downtown Murfreesboro should again pay
tribute to Minos Cannon, a prominent early settler. The buildings were moved
to this site from all over the Mid-South as part of a Government funded
project to serve communities and preserve heritage. Particularly notable is
the 2000 galloon red cedar bucket which was made in Murfreesboro in 1887,
found in a Georgia amusement park in 1975 and brought to Cannonsburgh where it
represents the industrial past of the area.
