Designation: National Historic Site

For nearly two centuries, the U.S. Armed Forces and American industry looked to Springfield Armory for innovative engineering and superior firearms. Springfield Armory National Historic Site commemorates the critical role of the nation’s first armory by preserving and interpreting the world's largest historic US military small arms collection, along with historic archives, buildings and landscape.

Weather:

Springfield Armory National Historic Site is situated in the heart of Western Massachusetts and the Pioneer Valley. Our year is marked by four distinct seasons. Summers tend to be pleasant, but can at times be very hot and very humid. Autumn features brilliant foliage and cooler, calmer weather. Winter storms are capable of closing the park and can make travel dangerous. Springtime in New England is pleasant.

The park is located on the STCC campus. Follow the one way roadway around until you see the entrance sign for the park. If stopped by campus security let them know you are visiting the park.
