The museum is located in the armory’s original buildings located on the historic grounds.

The armory started as an important arsenal under General George Washington during the Revolutionary War. It began producing muskets in 1794. In 1978, the Armory reopened as the Springfield Armory National Historic Site, and it now houses the largest collection of American historic military firearms in the world.
