Stafford Civil War Park Project
Summary
In June, 2006, the Friends of Stafford Civil War Sites (FSCWS), a local Stafford County Non-profit, identified Civil War Union Army encampment, battery, and road remains on undeveloped land owned by Stafford County and Fredericksburg VA and proposed a park be built to preserve them. In 2009, Stafford County, Fredericksburg and the FSCWS agreed to a plan by which, if the FSCWS obtained the necessary easements to the proposed park, and raised the majority of funds, labor, and materials necessary for the park, Stafford County would then take this park into its park system and open it to the public free of charge.

Steen Cannons was started in early 1993 by Marshall Steen, a Civil War enthusiast since 1967.
Marshall is a third generation mortician (Funeral Director/Embalmer) and has been in the service related business all of his life. Currently he is a consultant in the funeral business and is the current Justice of the Peace (Magistrate) of Boyd County, Kentucky. Marshall makes it a point to always be available to communicate with you, the customer, when it comes to answering questions related to artillery. After selling one of the most successful paint businesses in Kentucky, Marshall transferred his Knowledge of paint finishes, along with his many years of being an experienced furniture and cabinet maker, to now being able to supply his customers with the most state-of-the-art carriages available in the market place for long lasting durability.
Our goal is to provide our customers with full scale authentic reproductions of original pieces that can be used either for decorative purposes or fully operable firing pieces. All of our cannons are manufactured from specifications of artillery for the Land Services of the United States. We will also consider manufacturing any model as long as we can be provided with working drawings of the project. Marshall Steen has been in business all of his life and knows that service, quality of workmanship, and communication is the life line of a successful operation.
