Watervliet Arsenal
Founded in 1813 during the War of 1812, the arsenal has been manufacturing guns for America's defense ever since. In 1887, the arsenal became America's "Cannon Factory." It is the only U.S. Army manufacturing facility for large caliber cannon in volume. (Watervliet is pronounced water-vuh-leet)
The Watervliet Arsenal is located on the Hudson River, just a few miles north of the New York State Capital at Albany.
