CLEARFIELD – The Clearfield County Historical Society’s Kerr House Museum will be open Saturday, March 17, from 1 p.m. until 4 p.m., in order to offer its mounted elk head display for public viewing.
The display is being held in coordination with the Downtown Clearfield Sportsmen’s Day. The mounted elk is the result of a poaching incident in Karthaus Township.
Those responsible were apprehended by the Pennsylvania Game Commission’s wardens and prosecuted.
The mounted elk is the largest one to be poached in the commonwealth. It is permanently housed in the museum.
Those taking part in the Sportsmen’s Day activities, as well as the general public are welcome to view the mounted head and antlers. There is no charge for admission.
