Interpretive Tours, Daily, 2pm*

Springfield Armory National Historic Site will offer interpretive tours each weekend day. Several tours await visitors, with locations and subjects varying according to weather and visitor preference. Explore the historic buildings and grounds on a Park Ranger-guided outdoor tour. On the indoor tour, a Park Ranger will detail a portion of the museum’s exhibits and the significant events surrounding them. Each of the specialized tours will highlight aspects of the Springfield Armory’s rich 174 year history. Participants will have the chance to learn new stories and little-known facts about the Armory and the City of Springfield, as well as the opportunity to receive the special attention available on these guided tours.

*On days when special events occur (usually in the early afternoon), tours will not be at 2:00 pm but will be rescheduled to 11:00 am.
