Varnum Memorial Armory
From July 1918 to January 1996, the
Varnum Armory
in East Greenwich, RI, housed units from the Rhode Island
State and National Guard. Built in 1913 and completed in 1914,
the Varnum Continentals had the Armory built in the Medieval
architectural style. The building is on the National Register
of Historic Places and contains an extensive Military &
Naval Museum.
Varnum House Museum
This
mansion was built in 1773 by James Mitchell Varnum,
a lawyer who entered the Revolutionary War and served as one
of General George Washington's Continental Army Brigadier
Generals. Varnum was later Major General in command of the
entire Rhode Island Militia. The museum is furnished with
period furniture and features many historic artifacts.
