J.M. Davis Arms & Historical Museum

"This museum and displays were great! The staff and woman at the front was very welcoming. Entrance is free yet we donated to help them continue maintaining these displays. 👍 We walked up and down each display vase and were there for 2.5 hours. They have a video about Davis, lots of photos and articles. The cases are displayed well and cards to educate you on the items. They not only have MANY firearms, plus knives, swords, attire, horse saddles and spurs. A Stein collection, some personal art pieces and so much more. Don’t miss going to see for yourself! It’s also nice they had places to sit in case your feet get tired."

"This was amazing!!! The collection far exceeded any expectation. What a collection! Very well at displaying and fascinating stories how they came to be in the collection. I saw only 1 replica- the rest the real deal. I got a kick how the couple is entombed in the museum. Highly recommend anyone that is into history and or firearms this is a must see museum. We intentionally stayed the night just for this museum and it did not disappoint! Please allow several hours as there is so much to see."

"This was not my first visit to the museum but it was worth it all the same. If you enjoy the history of firearms this is the museum for you. The collection is huge and one thing that makes it so interesting is it focus on civilian firearms. Yes, there are military firearms in the collection but I would guess that less then 150 of those are on display. The vast majority of firearms on display are civilian target and hunting models from flintlocks to modern semi-automatic repeaters. About the only thing I could complain about is that the information plates are fairly bare-bones with generally make, model, type, caliber, and year of manufacture. The collection is laid out logically however and you can follow it such that you essentially get a history of sporting arms going back several hundred years. I did not notice any glaring errors on any of the displays and I am fairly conversant with firearms although not a gun geek by any means. There is a also a pretty decent section in the museum on railroad history. One of the most interesting section is the outlaw section where they have displayed some of the weapons used by famous criminals of the 20's and 30's and an interesting display of used hangman's nooses. Admission is free although they do accept donations and there is a small gift shop that is mostly full of Route 66 gear and not gun museum stuff. This museum is well worth the 2 hours or so it takes to visit."

"J.M. Davis Arms & Historical Museum is absolutely amazing. There is so much to look at if you're into guns and history, this place is definitely for you. The collection is massive and really interesting, with something around every corner that keeps you looking and learning. It's one of those spots where you could spend a long time and still not see everything. Definitely worth checking out."

"We stopped to visit because my son is a gun enthusiast, and I'm so glad we stopped by. The vast collection of guns in many well designed displays even got me, who isn't that interested. My son also loved the virtual shooting range. He was happy, and that made me happy as well. For a small donation, one can view hundreds if not thousands of guns."
