#8 - DISCARDED PISTOLS This week’s spotlighted exhibit is a recent addition to the museum. It coincides with the end of the 150th anniversary of the end of the Civil War and our upcoming Friday Night at the Museum event entitled “The Last Hurrah”. These pistols were discarded during the Civil War and brought home as souvenirs by Bradford County soldiers. While most of them are not military issued weapons, they may have been used by civilians or picked up by soldiers along the way. In most cases, they were produced in the years before the Civil war began.

Visit the Bradford County Historical Society Wednesday through Friday, 10 am to 4 pm to see this and hundreds of other local history pieces.
