Monday, August 7, 2023 - 6:30pm to 7:30pm
Justus Dwight's inscribed 1758 French and Indian War powder horn was recently recovered by the FBI and is back in Belchertown's museum collection. What is a powder horn and where did Justus Dwight's horn go?
Tom Stockton and Cliff McCarthy will give us the inside story on its disappearance and recovery and the "repatriation" ceremony held to return the powder horn and scores of other stolen artifacts to their home museums.
See the powder horn and learn more about its recovery!
