Located in historic downtown Rogers since 1960 the museum houses an impressive airgun collection. In 1999, the company decided to utilize that collection to create a first class and entertaining museum which would serve as a tourism attraction. In March, 2000, the refurbished, expanded museum opened its doors. Today, the museum resides in the brick-paved historic sector of downtown Rogers in a building which, itself, dates to 1896. It attracts over 1700 visitors a year from almost every state in the continental U.S and several foreign countries. Gun and history enthusiasts come to see the collection of antique dating to the 1600s. www.daisymuseum.com/ Preregistration opens on 09/23/2015. Preregistration closes on 11/06/2015.
