visitorsNotes=>'
The museum is located on the grounds of the Watervliet Arsenal.
It is necessary to pass through security at the south gate to
visit the museum.
There is no admission fee.
Displays include examples of 16 inch battleship gun tubes and various
tanks and self propelled guns. There are many artillery pieces on display
scattered around the Arsenal grounds, but I am unsure if visitors have
access that would permit them to visit these pieces.

backgroundNote=>'
Originally a supply depot, the Arsenal has served for many years
as one of the major cannon manufacturing sites in the United States.
The museum is in the "Iron Building", an example of an
early prefab industrial building.
