Moon Mujas of Washington County talks with Jack Stemmel of Delaware County about items he has hand crafted and is selling at the Campus Martius Museum in Marietta.
From the first arrival of the Ohio Company settlers to present day Marietta, the local area has always been the forefront of quality craftsmanship.
Firearms were an essential tool in everyday life and used not only for hunting but for competition shooting. The makers of these longrifles took great pride in their workmanship in the same manner as today’s craftsman do their work.
On Saturday, the Campus Martius Museum featured the historic craftsmanship at the annual Contemporary Gunmakers and Allied Artists Show.
