Historical/Interpretive Information/Exhibits
Armory Superintendent Joseph Perkins lived in a converted warehouse on this spot from 1801 to 1806. The day Meriwether Lewis arrived, March 16, 1803, Lewis hand-delivered a letter from the Secretary of War directing Perkins to provide "arms & Iron work...with the least possible delay." This may also have been where Lewis stayed.
