Interesting... no, I never knew Remington (big green) had a museum.

Remington, the artist has a fantastic museum in Olean, NY

I’ll have to check it out next time I’m in the area.

If it's the one in the Factory, it's like 3 rooms. I went in 2012-2013ish It had some interesting example rifles but it wasn't as extensive as I'd have liked. They also didn't do factory tours. things might have changed after I went. The store had sweat shirts and shot glass and some parts you can readily buy from Remington's web store.

Never been there.

But I found the following extremely funny at the link you provided:

"And Remington handguns like the... R51 are reinventing shootability and redefining performance."

And how...

If you hit Olean, you can also visit the KA-BAR visitor center and factory store.

Thanks for the replies. Current plan is to visit Ilion - but not Olean - in early April.

Most of the snow should be gone.

I went in about 2013 as well. Exactly as CD228 stated. Only thing I would add is that they have a small gift shop. I was able to get some Bushmaster shirts and hats. I asked about factory tours, as they used to do them, but was told that since Sandy Hook, they couldn't have the public on the factory floor. The complex there is huge. Lots of cool design elements to the old factory architecture.

It’s a cool little museum.If you’re going by it’s worth the stop. The gift shop is nice also. It’s a shame they don’t offer tours anymore. I got to do one with an employee a couple years ago and it was pretty impressive. Lots of history there.

I have been there 20 yrs ago, my wife is from the area her father worked there for a time. The building is just plain huge. Most of the production has been moved out of state since the state of NY has been anti-gun. It is sad to see the a building so massive not being used like it once was. When I was there at the museum back then there were examples of their line of guns. Some nice custom guns. I went on factory tour back then, but even then I was surprised at the small production line and few employees. No factory tour I would think the reason is there just not much work being done there anymore. But then I have been at the Buffalo Bill Cody gun museum in Cody WY and have never been to a gun museum that comes close.

Hope it stays open through the proceedings.

It’s about an hour east of Syracuse, a few miles off the NYS Thruway/I-90. It’s not a large museum, but there are nice displays that begin with company history and move to the present.

The nice lady told me they have close to 1,000 workers and just brought 90 back. They make Remington and Marlins at this plant, no ARs. There’s a nice gift shop.

I’m hesitant to recommend a trip just to see this place, but if you’re in the area it’s worth seeing.

Oh yeah, the photos. Once I send them to Bald 1, I KNOW he'll post them for me.

The Frederick Remington Museum is in Ogdensburg, NY, north of Watertown.

Spot on anticipating my response. LOL

...and the rest.

The Remington Arms Museum is located at
14 Hoefler Avenue
Ilion, NY 13357
which is east of Syracuse, about an hours drive in Oneida County.

What you and BillyBones cited is completely different from what Sigmund is posting about. You're talking about an artist, Sigmond is discussing firearms. Just wanting to ensure people don't get confused.

Not true. NY has been anti gun for well over 100 years. They moved production out of NY for the same reason everyone else did, NY is a toxic environment for businesses.

To reduce the confusion I started, I've added "Arms" to the thread title.

I may be driving thru Ogdensburg, but it's unlikely I'll visit the Frederick Remington ART Museum.
