Pickens County Journalism Since 1999
The opening reception for Firelocks of the American Revolution (from the personal collection of Ken Nabors, of the Pickens County Historical Society) will be held from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. on Saturday, September 6, 2025 at the Pickens County Museum of Art & History.
The Ken Nabors collection features examples of rifles, pistols, powder horns, and other objects from the Revolutionary period. During the American Revolution, flintrock rifles stood as both a practical tool of war and a symbol of the colonists’ determination to secure independence.
On September 6, meet Ken Nabors and people in Revolutionary era clothing. Free refreshments will be provided.
