Historical/Interpretive Information/Exhibits

The U.S. Armory Paymaster's House stood here. Completed in 1802 as a home for the armory's senior administrator, this building was probably the best house in town when Meriwether Lewis arrived in 1803. Lewis may have stayed here, and he certainly accounted for his supplies with Paymaster Samuel Annin.
