75th Anniversary Celebrations

On Sunday, August 8, 1937 some 33 people interested in the study, preservation and collection of firearms responded to an invitation by the late Miller C. Bedford to meet at his home in New London, Ohio. The enthusiasm from this initial informal gathering was such that a need to formally organize was recognized and thus was born The Ohio Gun Collectors Association.

This organization, celebrating its Seventy-fifth Anniversary during 2012, is now the largest association of gun collectors not only in the United States but the world with a current membership of almost 17,000!

Members and their invited guests are invited to join us throughout the year as we celebrate our 75th Anniversary.  Representing the true spirit of the hobby are the thousands of members who have brought educational displays and display-only pieces over 75 years. Our next Annual Display Show is May 5-6.  

Annual Banquet Tickets Now on Sale! The 75th Anniversary Banquet will be held Saturday evening, May 5th, at the Manor House in Mason, Ohio and features keynote speaker, Wayne LaPierre, Executive Vice President of The National Rifle Association. For more information click here for a banquet ticket order form.  More information can also be found in the March 2012 newsletter.
