The oldest independent armory in the United States, built in 1893. Since 1837 the Cleveland Grays Militia has been answering the call to service. The Grays are no longer a militia but a support group of the museum; they preserves history, the building, support the armed services ,and host educational programs for the public. The building itself is worth a visit but the artifacts are also amazing. The first canon every captured by the North, a WWI German helmet with the mailing label and postage still attached from the battlefield, a top secret invasion map of the beaches of Normandy -- just a few of the rare artifacts that call the Armory Home.
