Day 8:The Museum and Library Committee plans a 12 Day 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
Thomas Hess: Sellers lists two Thomas Hess' in the well known Hess family of eastern Pennsylvania. One is son of Jonas and the other the son of Phillip Hess. This gun, unsigned is attributed based on it architecture and decorative characteristics.
