Trick-or-treat at the Museum

The National Firearms Museum is hosting a special, after-hours Halloween event on Friday, Oct. 31.

From 4 to 6 p.m., each exhibit in the museum will hand out candy and toys as part of its first-ever "Trick or Treat" at the Museum.

The costume-optional party will feature Museum staff in disguise — as well as our very own intern, shown at left in his most recent holiday outfit.

"This is another way for children to learn about the influence of firearms on our nation's history," National Firearms Museum Director Jim Supica said. "We hope to make this an annual event."

The Museum is located at 11250 Waples Mill Road in Fairfax, Virginia.

See you there!
