The Reinhart Collection

---

In 1925, James Reinhart moved from Ferndale to Eureka and set up a gunsmith business at 109 F Street, (the building no longer exists) where he plied his trade and collected guns until his death in 1935. His widow sold his collection of guns and associated items to then Superintendent of Eureka City Schools, George Albee, who placed them at the Eureka High School Museum. Over time the EHS museum became overcrowded, and when long-term EHS teacher Cecile Clarke retired from teaching and established the Clarke Museum, the gun collection followed her to the museum. The Reinhart Collection accounts for roughly half of the Clarke gun collection.
