The Mountain State is rich with history and, despite varying in national importance over the past 200 years, plenty of physical history is left to explore each of our eras. We will look through what, as Tyler Childers said, is a long, violent history. What you will find on this website are high-quality photos of “artifacts” corresponding to that history, as well as historical information about the particular item. Thank you for coming and please share this page with others who may enjoy it!
Additionally, I write reference books providing the rarities and values of these items. Please stay updated with the site to purchase books once they’re finished!
