Here's a url for the Arsenal museum. I found it a while ago but should
get you further info on the arsenal itself as well.
http://www.wva.army.mil/MUSEUM.HT. (I just tried it and it still works)
There'a s button for HOME at the bottom which takes you back to more info
on the Arsenal itself. The museum houses the Burgoyne gun which was used
at the Battle of Saratoga. : - )
hope this helps,k.c

ps. I think the Wards building might now house one of the State depts.??
