Welcome to the HCH's web home.
Founded in 1996, we became a
501 (c) 3 in 2002. Currently, we have
about two hundred members nation wide,
ranging from the casually interested to the
serious horn collectors and workers.
Most of our members became interested
in horn working and collecting as a direct
result of the modern revival of muzzle
loading firearms. Our appreciation of the
historic horn trade grew out of our interest
in the powder horns of the French and
Indian War and the American Revolution.
