The American Military Edged Weaponry Museum in Intercourse. The American Military Edged Weaponry Museum is the individual accumulation of Larry Thomas. Thomas has been gathering military blades since he was 13 years of age in 1942. Thomas and his significant other, Ann, opened the historical center in the mid-1980s inside what was before the National Bank of Intercourse. The building was built in 1909 and still holds a significant part of the look of a bank, including the old vault which currently fills in as the gallery's office.

The historical center highlights a gathering of in excess of 3,000 things, making it the biggest accumulation of its kind in the United States. By far most are edged weapons, for example, blades, however there are other intriguing pieces in plain view, for example, firearms, unopened packs of military-issued cigarettes, and even a Mexican-American War-time gun.

The blades and weapons in plain view were altogether utilized by the American military in each real war and struggle going back to the French and Indian War. This gives an intriguing take a gander at how edged weaponry has changed consistently. Numerous show cases feature ious comparable things, however Thomas guaranteed me that every one is special somehow.

That being stated, it would have been decent for there to be more signage clarifying the historical backdrop of the pieces in plain view to make the distinctions more self-evident.
