Eagle Museum?

[oldwood]

Does anyone remember the correct name of the once famous , m/l gun museum At Strausburg Pa.. Think the Prop./owner was called Vince Nolt? This place was a gold mine of info for collectors and builders. There were perhaps between 100 and 200+ guns there , and if Vince was in the mood , he would let you handle the guns. This place was good for a whole day's exploration of it's two story's of m/l guns. Just not sure of the name..............oldwood

Strasburg, Pa.; I've read about it but never visited. I'm an hour away from the Strasburg Railroad, a valuable thing to visit. Real working Steam Locos, restored vintage cars, a true gem.

As I recall it was the Eagle Museum and I believe it closed many (30 or 40) years ago with the collection being sold off.

I recall the museum. Eagle Museum. All of those original rifles in one place. Only visited it once but it left a great memory.
