Thomas “Boston” Corbett was one of 26 enlisted men from the 16th New York Cavalry who surrounded John Wilkes Booth and David Herold in the Garrett farm tobacco barn on April 25th, 1865. After the barn had been fired, Corbett shot through the slats inflicting a mortal wound in the right side of Booth’s neck. His pistol was a Model 1860 Army Colt. Over the next few days, he received several offers to purchase his pistol but it ultimately ended up being stolen. Its whereabouts have long since been lost to history. Possibly, out there today in someone’s collection lays one of the most famous and valuable guns in U.S. History. If your gun has a history, even if you’re a thief, write it down. It’s your duty.

The fascination with firearms and history began with the Lugers, Walthers and war souvenirs brought back from the WWII European Theater by the proprietor’s father.

The Museum is dedicated to Lieutenant Colonel Don B. Clark and to all the men and women who fought to keep our great nation free. For more information on Lieutenant Colonel Don B. Clark, please click on the photo below for a complete biography.
