The Wilder Museum of Warren County History, 51 Erie Avenue, Irvine, PA, will mark the end of its 2024 season with a special Antique Gun Display on Saturday, October 12, 2024. Weapons collector and historian Brad Bogart will curate the event, which will run from 1:00 to 5:00 PM.

Brad’s historic assortment of arms includes weaponry dating back to the French and Indian War (1754-1763), such as Kentucky rifles, powder horns, knives and tomahawks. Brad has been collecting antique guns since 1972 after returning home from Vietnam. He has been a member of the Kentucky Rifle Association since 1984 and frequently attends their annual show and other events.

The gun display will take place in the Era-Gone-By Room which houses the Joseph DeFrees Antique Gun Collection. DeFrees, a Warren County native, was a mid-twentieth century inventor and philanthropist.

The event is free and open to the public. Donations are welcome. All proceeds benefit the Wilder Museum of Warren County History. For more information, please call (814) 723-1795, visit warrenhistory.org, or like us on Facebook.
