Springfield Armory National Historic Site

The Main Arsenal at Springfield Armory National Historic Site was first built in 1850 and today houses the park's amazing collection of historic firearms.
For nearly two centuries, the U.S. Armed Forces and American industry looked to Springfield Armory for innovative engineering and superior firearms. Springfield Armory National Historic Site commemorates the critical role of the nation’s first armory by preserving and interpreting the world's largest historic US military small arms collection, along with historic archives, buildings and landscape.
