Trebuchet

A trebuchet is a medieval siege weapon. It is a catapult-like device that uses a long wooden arm, counterweight, and sling to launch items (In this case, watermelons). Come and enjoy learning about the history and the physics behind this 35-foot tall machine. Once you learn about the Trebuchet, enjoy watching it launch a watermelon 500 feet through the sky.
