Springfield Armory National Historic Site

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.
The Springfield Armory NHS is operated by the National Park Service and is located on the scenic grounds with Springfield Technical Community College. The historic museum is FREE and open to the public Wednesday through Sunday 9:30am to 4pm.
