Title: ALR Museum Gunmaker: Matthew Gillespie....Translvania Co, N.C
Post by: hurricane on December 20, 2009, 08:03:24 PM

DAY 1: Over the next 12 days , the Museum and Library Committee plans a Holiday Spectacular celebrating the first anniversary of the ALR Museum and Library and  the "Community of Collectors" efforts to promote the study and collection of the "Kentucky Longrifle". To date we have exhibited more than 250 guns; probably the largest and most varied collection of longrifle exhibits ever presented publicly. This was only accomplished because of the support of the collecting community; we thank them and wish them the best for the coming years. We hope others will join in in the future.


Here is a classic:

Matthew Gillespie of Transylvania Co, NC. His gun and his family history.

What a way to bring in the New Year! Better than a Christmas present! Hopefully no more storms will come through and knock our power. Great work guys.
