Muzzleloading rifles/powder horns?
 

Is there a museum in Manhattan that has a good display of muzzleloading rifles and/or powder horns? I am interested in French-Indian, Revolutionary War era reinactments. <BR>Can you help?

Why would look for it in Manhattan? Have you heard of such a place?

No------ but will be there and wondered if one of the museums might have some exhibits of interest.

There is an extensive collection at the Ford Mansion of the Morristown (NJ) National Historic Site. Not certain, but ou may need special permission. <BR> <BR>check www.nps.gov for the local number. <BR> <BR>There is bus and train service to/from Morristown

I don't know if they specifically have the firearms you're interested in, but I would try the Metropolitan Museum's Arms and Armor section. And if you're interested in the Revolutionary War era, the Fraunces Tavern Museum downtown specializes in George Washington and that time period and has some firearms. It is administered by the Sons of the American Revolution in New York State.
