The visitor center and museum at the Springfield Armory National Historic Site will be closing temporarily.

After this weekend, the museum will be closed through the end of March.  This will allow for contractors to finish a $1.6 million upgrade to the historic building’s infrastructure.

During the closure, park rangers from the Springfield Armory will put on programs at other venues.

WAMC’s Pioneer Valley Bureau Chief Paul Tuthill spoke with Kelly Fellner, Superintendent at the Springfield Armory National Park.

The record-setting tenure of Springfield Mayor Domenic Sarno. The 2011 tornado and its recovery that remade the largest city in Western Massachusetts. The fallout from the deadly COVID outbreak at the Holyoke Soldiers Home. Those are just a few of the thousands and thousands of stories WAMC’s Pioneer Valley Bureau Chief Paul Tuthill has covered for WAMC in his nearly 17 years with the station.
