The Heritage Center: Springfield’s rare ‘walking bow’

It is called a “walking bow” because it's so long, you can’t ride a horse and use it.

The bow was preserved for years in the walls of an old cabin and eventually came to the Clark County Historical Society with the blessing of a Shawnee representative, in the form of a small bag of ceremonial herbs kept in the case below the bow, found on the second floor of the Heritage Center.
