So, one of our members was doing some deep Google-fu and found this fun and interesting news clip about the opening of the Varmum Memorial Armory Museum. It comes from the January 2, 1915 edition of “The Evening News” out of Providence, RI.
It was front-page news back in the day! Click the image in this article and you can see a close-up of the article. Or, just click this link to see article on Google.
