Buchanan, Tenn.–Even those firing the cannons have to shield their ears at this weekend’s 6th annual Battle of Paris Landing & Living History at the state park. Cannon firings are on the hour and there are plenty of other activities all day Saturday and Sunday, including cake walk, reenactments, tent cities, Civil War camp with nurses’ tent, beekeeping demonstrations, and vendors selling chili, chili pies, hot dogs and more. Colton Sanders will speak again Sunday morning on the importance of the Tennessee River in the Civil War. Sunday hours are from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. (Shannon McFarlin photo).
