Revolutionary War veteran for whom the park is named, was never a colonel but he is deserving of a place in history for his manufacturing of wrought iron cannon. William Denning served his country as a sergeant from March 1778 to April 1780 in Nathanial Irish's Company of Artillery Artificers in Benjamin Flower's Regiment. Dennings' company was stationed just outside Carlisle, PA at Washingtonburg Forge, now Carlisle Barracks.
