>>Very interesting post and thank you for the links. We have some interesting places to see military history in the San Francisco Bay Area.

>And lots of fun places too. One of my favorites is the Winchester House. Now that was interesting! (Alittle spooky too)

I do enjoy the display of weapons. If you are about 4' 6" tall you can get around the house (like the stairs) with ease. My question is if Mrs. Winchester was so upset and concerned about the people killed by Winchester rifles, why she did not give up the company? I guess the money was too good! :)

Did they have the Hardware Display when you last saw the house? They said Winchester Hardware was the largest hardware chain in the world. I drive past the house almost every day.

If you like to shop the new Santana Shopping Mall is across the street for your pleasure.
