Welcome to the
Daisy Airgun Museum.
Daisy has always valued it’s brand’s history.
Following the Great Depression, the company ran ads
offer a new Daisy gun if you sent in your old gun
and one dollar! In the 1940s, when the corporate
offices were remodeled in Plymouth, MI, a shelf was
attached to a lobby wall, displaying the company’s
gun in chronological order. 1966 was the official
opening of the Daisy Airgun Museum at the old plant
on 8th Street in Rogers, AR. In 1999, the company
decided to utilize that collection to create a first
class and entertaining museum which would serve as a
tourism attraction for our city. In March, 2000, the
refurbished, expanded museum opened its doors with
then First Lady of Arkansas, Janet Huckabee shooting
the ribbon with a Daisy Model 840.
Today, the museum resides in the brick-paved
historic sector of downtown Rogers in a building
which, itself, dates to 1896. It attracts over
14,000 to 16,000 visitors a year from almost every
state in the continental U.S and several foreign
countries. Gun and history enthusiasts come to see
the collection of antique airguns dating to the
1600s.
Tourists come to walk through a chronological
presentation of Daisy history, view old packaging
and advertising, but mostly to see and talk about
the one they had as a youngster. Shoppers come to
see the complete line of current Daisy products and
take something home from the gift shop. T-shirts,
caps, pins, magnets, mugs, special BB tins, are all
favorites. A selection of limited edition, numbered
or specially engraved guns are always available.
If you can come to Rogers, Arkansas, we’d love to
meet you and to hear your Daisy story. Until you can
make the trip, we’re hopeful that this website will
tide you over with some Daisy history and that you
will visit our online giftshop often.
