Traditional Arms Shows in the Northeast?

[The Baron]

Hello All,

Can anyone tell me if there are any traditional arms shows in the northeast, that would have gun displays by custom gunmakers and any other flintlocks for sale? I live in Ontario and would really like to attend one of these, but (to my knowledge) there's nothing even close to this in Ontario - ever. A drive to any northeast state (NY,PA,MA etc.) wouldn't be too bad for me.

Thanks.

Baron,
There is the Gunmaker's Fair at Dixon's Muzzleloader Shop. this is at Kempton, PA. That is about four miles north of Kutztown, which is about twelve miles west of Allentown which is on I-78, near the eastern border of PA. The Fair is always on the last Full weekend in July. I guarantee it will be worth your drive. Big name and smaller name custom builders, traditional guns guns guns, acoutrements, seminars, blacksmithing of barrels by the boys from Williamburg, VA. (Saves you several hundred miles more driving) Check it out. :redthumb:
God bless.

The Lancaster Muzzle Loading Rifle Association Gun Show is held at the Lancaster Farm and Home Center, 1383 Arcadia Rd, off Rt 72, Manheim Pk, just North of Lancaster about one mile. It's Saturday, January 8 and Sunday, January 9.
The Center is behind Conestoga Marine and Jones Honda just off Rt 72. Look for the big boats and turn there.
