The Noon Cannon Sundial
This dial was made for Ms Janie Wells of Fairview, Tennessee, USA. It is a memorial to her late daughter and stands at an outdoor conservation education classroom she built in the Bowie Nature Reserve,
Tennessee.
True local solar noon is announced by a shot from the cannon.
The dial is of solid brass throughout, longitude corrected and displays the compass, Equation of
Time and Moondial chart for telling time at night.
It is mounted on a marble disc.
The inscription reads:-
'May this sundial solar station encourage us all to reach to the heavens as we search and learn'.
