A World War I cannon once stood here until the city of Shiner donated it to the Scrap Iron Drive for World War II in 1942. Through the efforts of the Shiner Bicentennial Committee of the U.S.A., a U.S. government replacement was installed in 1976 and now stands in Welhausen Park one block north. The difference in size between the two cannons was seen as an unfortunate sign of the escalation of war over only two decades.
