MORGANTOWN, Ky (WBKO) - When you think of gunsmiths, names like Smith and Wesson, Winchester, and Remington likely come to mind.
In Kentucky, though, another name is embedded in the history books, and that name is Hershel House.
The Butler County Art Guild in Morgantown has been celebrating him with an exhibit that features some of the work that he created throughout his life.
“I looked up to him and he was also my hero,” said the daughter of House, Jana Rose. “We were really close. It was a fun experience growing up as a gunmaker’s daughter. When he was alive, I tried to tell him he was a legend, because he’s known all over the United States, even out of the United States, people know who he is.”
