Beneath your feet in the U.S. Armory (Musket Factory) Grounds, sits the ruins of the Smith and Forging Shop. Built to replace the first Armory gunsmith forging shops, it was completed in 1848 and was connected to the Inspector’s office. When completed, the combination Smith and Forging Shop, with overall dimensions of 280 ft. by 36 ft., was the largest workshop ever erected at the armory.
This image shows only one wing of the building, and some of the archeologists are in the image for scale. Two field seasons of excavation at the Musket Factory site revealed that the Smith and Forging Shop central forge venting system was in tact in the center of the wing. Machinery parts, and brick herringbone flooring was also found in tact. These discoveries are exceptional, considering the high amount of destruction and salvaging of the U.S. Armory site during the Civil War and afterwards.
A brief history of the Armory begins in 1794, when Congress approved a bill 'for the erecting and repairing of Arsenals and Magazines.' Springfield, MA, was chosen as the site for the first national armory. President George Washington, given wide discretionary powers in executing the legislation, then selected Harpers Ferry for a second national armory.
In 1796, the government purchased a 125-acre parcel of land bounded by the Potomac and Shenandoah rivers from the heirs or Robert Harper. Construction of the 'United States Armory and Arsenal at Harpers Ferry' began in 1799. Three years later full-scale production of arms commenced. Muskets, rifles and, after 1805, pistols were all manufactured here. By 1810, annual production of arms averaged about 10,000.
