The Cannonball Trail

History
9
The Cannonball Trail follows four hundred years of Norfolk and American history along the shoreline of the Elizabeth River and through downtown Norfolk, linking the cobbled streets of West Freemason, described as Norfolk's earliest residential streetscape, with downtown's turn-of-the-century buildings standing beside modern structures. Along the route are Windows on History and other historic attractions including the General Douglas MacArthur Memorial, Hampton Roads Naval Museum at Nauticus, the Moses Myers House, Saint Paul's Episcopal Church, and the Hunter House Victorian Museum, as well as a long series of sites on Freemason, Bank, Granby, Main, City Hall, and nearby streets that trace the city's historic landscape.
