The Susquehanna County Historical Society will present a fireside chat on Friday, November 7th at 7 pm.  Firearms enthusiast Kevin Dougherty will discuss the guns in the Society’s collection with an emphasis on the story of each gun’s uses in the past.

​

The Society’s collection includes firearms dating from before the-Revolutionary War to beyond the Civil War. Whether military or civilian in origin, many have undergone transformations to make them functional to their Susquehanna County owners. 

​

Mr. Dougherty is an experienced gun restorer and gunsmith. He is a member of the American Longrifle Association and a participant in Hunt for Healing, a program dedicated to wounded veterans through mentored outdoor challenges. He has graciously helped the Society inventory this portion of its collection so that the organization may better educate the public on this interesting part of the county’s history.

​

This program is free and will last approximately one hour. Please follow signs for entry. An elevator is available for those with mobility challenges. Limited parking is available in front of the building.
