Sill in Lawton, OK. I took the pictures a couple of months ago. If you are ever anywhere near, go there. The place is absolutely amazing, probably over 100 exhibits outside and many more inside.

Lots of stuff I'd never heard of or had forgotten about, including a cannon meant to be fired from the back of a mule. It didn't work out so well...

You probably only got one shot before your cannon took off to the next county.
