Historical/Interpretive Information/Exhibits

Completed in 1800, the 2 1/2 story, brick arsenal building stored weapons made for the security and survival of a young United States of America. The 15 rifles Meriwether Lewis took from this stockpile provided the first and most essential weapons in the small arsenal his soldiers needed to survive on their wilderness journey.
