Thanks, but looking for info on the gun club, not the property.

I sent an email to someone I know who may know something.

I received an answer from the woman I thought may be able to help us. Here is her edited reply.

You got me on this one, I don't remember ever seeing it, and never heard of the Penn club. I wonder if it once belonged to my school teachers father, Geo. Penn. I can't think of anynone to ask, most, if not all, the old-timers are gone.

Thanks Guy. I had never heard of it either. Next time I'm passing thru Chatsworth I'll stop in Buzby's; Marilyn was working on a book of the clubs.

The only Penn Gun Club of which I am aware had its origins in Norristown, Pennsylvania in the late nineteenth century.

Best regards,

Maybe the Realtor could be asked? They sometimes know the history of the place somewhat.

Thanks, that's what I found as well. I'm thinking it is creative advertising. I have one more source to check.

Another tip.

Try Tom Gormley at Tip's Hardware in West Creek. Tom & his brother John founded the Bayman's Museum @ Tuckeron Seaport. He or John just might know something about the Penn club.

I did not write the hardware store in the event someone else had or was going to. If nobody has written I will do that.

I spoke with a friend that would know about it if it was ever a deer club. He had no recollection of it. I did find out the building was built in 1940 and last sold in 1995 for $35K and at that time had electric heat. The agent never returned my call. It is still on the market, and probably will be for a long time.

I'll be at a meeting with our decoy show committee next week. There will be several older local guys at the meeting that might know something if nothing is brought to light before then.
