  • The Springfield Armory Historic Background
    The Springfield Armory Historic Background Report by Todd Jones, Historic Preservation Specialist Federal Emergency Management Agency October 2011 The Springfield Armory Exceptionally unique among the structures in Springfield, MA, the Springfield Armory has stood on Howard Street for over one hundred years. Yet, with its impressive medieval architecture, the building could easily pass for a centuries-old European castle. It may appear as a much unexpected feature on the skyline of a Connecticut River Valley city, but considering Springfield’s illustrious history as a manufacturer of war goods, a castle is actually quite an appropriate inclusion. The Armory is located today at 29 Howard Street. It is surrounded by a dense urban community characterized by commercial interests, with parking lots, a strip mall, and an apartment block included as its primary neighbors. The area transitioned from an urban working class residential neighborhood to its present commercial character during the mid and late twentieth century.

  • WHERE IS SPRINGFIELD, MASSACHUSETTS? Springfield
    WHERE IS SPRINGFIELD, MASSACHUSETTS? Springfield, Massachusetts is located in the southern part of Western Massachusetts near the Connecticut border. It is bordered by Agawam and West Springfield on the west, Chicopee and Ludlow on the north, Wilbraham on the east, and Longmeadow and East Longmeadow on the south. Springfield is 89 miles southwest of Boston; 25 miles from Hartford, Connecticut; and 134 miles north of New York City. Springfield was named for Springfield, England, and is known as the birthplace of basketball. The population is 156,983. HISTORIES OF THE TOWNS OF WESTERN MASSACHUSETTS Heritage Surveys, Inc. (Land Surveying and Civil Engineering) is building a compilation of historical pictures and sketches of the towns of Western Massachusetts from its archives of ephemera and books. This is a work in progress. Springfield, Massachusetts – 1879 History Of the First United States Federal Armory, 1794 At the outbreak of the American Revolution the colonies possessed almost no capacity to manufacture small arms suitable for military use (muskets). As was the case with virtually all manufactured goods, especially those requiring either high levels of artisan skills or large volume production, the colonies depended exclusively on imports from Britain. Think about it: That situation that quickly led to a crisis situation for the army during the American Revolution, especially once Baron von Steuben began training George Washington's Continental Army in European military tactics. Despite the efforts of several state governments to organize armories, the situation remained desperate until the Continental Congress managed to arrange the purchase of muskets from France. The delivery of 80,000 French Charleville muskets to the Continental Army did much more than eliminate the immediate arms shortage in General Washington's army.

For the artists in this show, wood is theír muse and the source of their inspiration. Each artist has an affection for wood that comes from a very personal place. ln fine art, the mastery of materials and craft must serve the aesthetics of the work. We selected contemporary art for this exhibition that speaks through wood as its medium. We placed several different approaches to using wood in juxtaposition, bringing individual voices into focus. We see wood, as a medium, in the true sense of the word "an intervening substance or agency for transmitting or producing an effect." Each artist in the show approaches wood from a conceptual framework that yields surprising and divergent results.

WAM acquired the highly significant collection in 2014 from the Higgins Armory Museum and plans to design an innovative installation, consisting partly of open storage, with emphasis on accessibility, both physical and intellectual. The grant would help fund preparatory activities including specialist review of the collection, brainstorming by regional academics and educators to suggest possible interpretive approaches, and consultation with interpretation and design specialists to turn these ideas into concrete plans for a compelling and engaging installation that will appeal to diverse audiences. The installation’s core humanities concepts will be the contrast between the superficial purpose of the objects and their actual complex functions, and the meaning of their enduring power as symbols today when they are no longer in actual use.
