[GALLERY] New Exhibits for Guns & Beer VII!

By

There’s tons of work going on at the Varnum Memorial Armory Museum in preparation for Guns & Beer VII.  In addition to many new exhibits and artifacts on display, we’ve lined our displays with unbleached natural linen fabric partly to make the artifacts easier to see, but more importantly, to protect them while on display.  You’ll see a whole new armory compared to previous Guns & Beer events. Don’t miss this one even if you’ve visited any of our previous beer tastings.

Beer Tasting Fundraiser to Feature Rare Civil War Canon

By

In preparation for our Guns & Beer VI Annual Beer Tasting Fundraiser (Saturday, November 14), we successfully moved the Civil War James cannon (click here for more information about this canon) from our canon shed to the Varnum Memorial Armory’s drill hall today.

This very rare 19th century canon is being brought out as a special treat to our beer tasting attendees. CLICK HERE TO BUY TICKETS!

Special thanks go to Gordon Kilday (Quonset Auto Body) who provided a flat bed truck for the move and to truck operator Mike Corey along with several Varnum member volunteer assistance.
