January 28, 2012: Southern Longrifles and Powderhorns at MESDA, Old Salem, NC

Published October 1, 2011 | By Rick Sheets

Two HCH members, Jay Hopkins and Nick Powers will be speaking on Southern Powder Horns at the Museum of Southern Decorative Arts (MESDA) in Old Salem, NC. Mr. Wallace Gusler will be speaking on Virginia Gunsmiths.

We will have a strong showing from the HCH members from the southeast, but it would be great if we could pack the place with HCH members from all over! A visit to the well-maintained Moravian town and MESDA is worth the trip alone. You must register and there is a cost to come to the program. Links are at the bottom of this posting.
