What a huge complex now STCC and Armory. I never really thought about the importance of weaponry through our battles being so important, but it was. Springfield Armory produced! From 1799 to the 1960s, it went from hand forged/built through to interchange parts manufacturing of guns. The display is huge! The best part for me was the equipment used to build weaponry automated to see all the gears/wheels in motion that originally was powered by water. Diving towards Buffalo for Teddy Roosevelt Insugural, stopped at Saratoga Springs for a soak and drinking its highly carbonated spring water! The weather went from rain to sunshine and around 72 degrees at Saratoga when an Aldi market was on the way, to stop for snacks/food. Enjoy each day!
