rldarmstr Posted November 15, 2011 Share #1 Posted November 15, 2011 I wasn't sure where exactly to post this question. Obviously, I settled on here to start with. If my memory serves, sometime in the past I heard of historical tours, by appointment, at RIA. I have been on their web site but could find no reference to any such activities. Does anyone know if this is true and if it is still being conducted? I am making a trip, next spring, up that way and would love to take such a tour if possible. Thanks, Robert Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, Robert I live about 90 miles east in north central Illinoistan. The RIA has a most excellent museum whih chronicles both the history of the arsenal and also all (and I mean all) US military arms. It is an excellent way to spend four or five hours. Here's a link to the museum: Rock Island Arsenal Museum and the history of the museum: RIA Museum History and a virtual tour: RIA Virtual Tour Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
