To Vlog or Not to Vlog?
January 24, 2014
Here is a link to the video on Youtube
To Vlog or Not to Vlog? That is the question. In case you are not familiar, a Vlog is a Video Blog. For those who enjoy reading our traditional blog, have no fear! We will be doing a combination of videos and text from here on out. Sometimes we get an interesting artifact into the museum, and it is quicker to show it to the public through a video. Videos also provide us an opportunity to take you not only inside the museum, but to show off some of our behind-the-scenes work. We will also be utilizing the video blog to bring you “How-To” videos of care and maintenance for antique and modern guns.
We hope you enjoy our “Inside the Gun Vaults” look at the Cody Firearms Museum!
Don’t forget to check out our Facebook and Twitter!
