Worker Weekend at the Springfield Armory

Friends of the Armory invites you to celebrate past and present workers of Springfield at our free event Worker Weekend on Saturday, September 7th and Sunday, September 8th 2024 from 10am to 4pm at the Springfield Armory National Historic Site. Worker Weekend highlights former Armory workers and their legacy with indoor and outdoor activities for all ages on the picturesque grounds of the Armory. Join us for special labor history programming, temporary exhibits, demonstrations of historical craftsmanship by local fabricators, hands-on workshops, and refreshments as we honor the workers and their families who made the Springfield Armory a success. See attached flyer for details and contact information.
