LOUISVILLE, Ky.--When visitors walk into the new Frazier Historical Arms Museum, the first thing they see is an 1880s Gatling gun. But if they think this is merely another gun museum, they soon learn otherwise. For after touring the three floors of gallery space, visitors not only have a clear understanding of the evolution of armaments but of the historical events in which they were used. And that's what sets this museum--which opened May 22--apart.

5/21/2004  World-class collections combine in a human story

It is, in a way, a tale of two shirts.

Around 1874, an unknown American Indian scout in the service of the U.S. Army in the Indian Wars decorated his standard-issue Army jacket with beautiful beadwork - creating a magical merger of important Indian symbols, including bison, dragonflies and deer, with the graphic sergeant's stripes.

   
5/21/2004  The man and his collection
A Kentucky long rifle started it all.

Owsley Brown Frazier grew up in Louisville but spent summers at his grandfather's Canadian camp. A boyhood in the woods formed the kind of memories that made his grandfather's gift of the family's Kentucky long rifle especially precious.
