Hold Annie Oakley’s Gun!
Holding Annie Oakley’s gun was such a popular event in 2023 that the Annie Oakley Center Foundation and Garst Museum will create an encore experience. This year during the Gathering, visitors can again hold Annie’s 1910 J. Stevens .22 caliber deluxe target rifle with a Scheutzen butt in the Lowell Thomas Meeting Room of the museum. This extraordinary event will be from 12 p.m.–6 p.m. on Saturday, July 27 and 12 p.m.–3 p.m. on Sunday, July 28. As a fundraising event for the Annie Oakley Center Foundation, the cost is $10 for adults and $5 for youth under 18. Additionally, if you bundle holding the gun with touring the museum, there is a $2 discount on museum admission. This is just one of Annie Oakley’s guns on display as well as other artifacts from her life, including medals, trophies, garments, and personal items. Photos, along with video clips, tell the story of this legend and her husband Frank Butler.
