Tour the Jonathan Browning Home and Gun Shop and learn about the humble beginnings of the worldwide Browning Arms Corporation. See authentic rifles, handguns, and shotguns from the early 1800s and their current-day counterparts.

Browning purchased this home in 1843, added the first story of the middle section, then a gun and blacksmithing shop. With his family, Browning joined the Saints in the 1846 exodus from Nauvoo, but remained at Winter Quarters until 1852, assisting others in their preparations for the journey west.
