J.m. Davis Arms And Historical Museum

John Monroe Davis received his first gun at the age of 7. That was the start of his collection that would grow to include guns, knives, swords, steins, saddles, Indian artifacts, political buttons, music boxes, World War I posters, and more. In 1965, Davis transferred ownership of his collection to a trust, the J.M. Davis Foundation, Inc. In turn, the foundation entered into an agreement with the State of Oklahoma for preservation and display of the collection.

We hope you enjoy our work.
