Fulton Draws Historic Hunter Arms Enthusiasts From Across Nation
The Friends of History in Fulton’s seventh annual Hunter Arms Homecoming weekend brought collectors and enthusiasts of the historic L.C. Smith guns back to the city where the once thriving factory once persevered. The Hunter Arms Company lasted for 60 years in what became known as “the city the Depression missed” as Fulton saw economic stability even through troubling times for much of the country. The Hunter family has remained closely connected with its rich family history, even returning alongside several Hunter enthusiasts from across the nation at Fulton’s annual Hunter Arms Homecoming Weekend. They stumbled across their history serendipitously, but the story is one that they won’t soon forget as they went on to discover they have a plentiful history with much to explore in a small city in Upstate New York.
