MESDA and Old Salem Museums & Gardens are home to one of the most important collections of early southern longrifles. Some are richly inlaid with brass, silver, or even gold. But not this one. In this week's #mesda365 #CloserLook curator Daniel Ackermann explores the story behind an important, but often overlooked, longrifle from Wythe County, Virginia.
