The Continental Arsenal at Springfield In-Person
Much of the common knowledge of the Springfield Armory begins in 1794 when the manufacture of new muskets began. Lesser known is its history as the Continental Arsenal, a military ordnance depot established in 1777 by General Henry Knox, who called the site "one of the most proper spots in America on every account."
Join Springfield Armory NHS Curator Alex MacKenzie as he delves into the beginnings of the Arsenal and the City of Springfield during the Revolutionary War.
