Following the successful ALR meeting at Fort Boonesborough, plans have been finalized for a get-together at the Frazier International History Museum in Louisville, KY on Saturday, March 27th. Museum hours are 9:00am to 5:00pm ET.
The Frazier has generously waived the normal admission fee for ALR members. The Frazier is also making available a meeting area on the 4th floor at 10:30am. ALR members are encouraged to bring current projects, accessories, and other related items to share, but NO AMMUNITION is allowed.
IMPORTANT: Members bringing guns, artifacts, etc should enter thru the security entrance on 9th St. to check in their property. Others should use the main entrance and say they are ALR members for free admission.
For lunch, we can order deli box lunches to eat in the meeting room, so we can spend more time together. There are a variety of sandwiches, chips or pasta and soft drinks available. Cost is $9.50 per person. The box lunches must be ordered in advance. If you want a box lunch, let me know via email and I will send you the menu. I will need your order by Wednesday, March 17. Please bring exact change on the day of the meeting.
For anyone within several hours of Louisville, this will be a great opportunity to meet, greet and share AND see the marvelous displays of arms and armour at the Frazier.
Among the firearms on display are examples by JP Beck, Wiley Higgins, Jacob Hoak, Jacob Stoudenour, Nathan Clause, J Roop & Daniel Schweitzer, Stophel Smith, Henry Lechler, and J&S Hawken, as well as the entire gun shop of John Smith of California.
