That does bring back memories. As a child, guns were a part of our lives, back in the depression you got food anywhere you could. Raise it, shoot it, trade furs for it, and sleep warm with home made quilts because you couldn't afford to keep the house fires going 24/7. And it got darn cold in winter time in WV.
When I married DH, we both agreed that our kids would learn each sex's jobs, and they would be at ease around guns and be able to use them in an emergency. 3 out of the 6 went into law enforcement.
I think the combination of guns and quilts would go over well. But do agree that the "gun" part should be advertised as "vintage" or "old fashioned living". Maybe with tiny rooms set up looking as they did 200 years ago. Like others said, put up old photographs showing more or less the same rooms. Plus, it would be nice if there were names put on the photographs, it might delight people to find some unknown ancestors and learn how they lived.
