I was waiting at the door when this museum opened, and for the two+ hours I was there, I don’t think there were any other visitors.
The top floor had an exhibit on Lewis and Clark that was long on information but lean on artifacts. The middle floor, the main collection of the museum, featured weapons as part of American history. It included guns and other arms that belonged to famous people.
A 1906 Teddy bear in the middle of the display of Teddy Roosevelt’s guns.
Shooting gallery targets from the late 1800s.
Gear believed to have belonged to Geronimo.
A cavalry scout coat from the 1870s. The Indian scout who wore it added the bead work.
Kentucky long rifles.
Powder horns.
The first floor had a few more displays of weapons.
Seventeenth century Japanese Samurai armor.
A powder horn from 1761, carved by a soldier during the French and Indian War.
And there were a lot of displays of toy soldiers around the museum, most of which had no explanation.
