Varnum Memorial Armory Museum Now Open for Tours!

July 9, 2020 By James Mitchell Varnum

The Varnum Continentals continue to closely track the Covid-19 pandemic and follow requirements set by both CDC and the State of Rhode Island. At this time, we are open for tours at the Varnum Memorial Armory Museum!

TOURS AT THE VARNUM MEMORIAL ARMORY MUSEUM

With a limited relaxation of stay-at-home and social distancing measures, we’re pleased to announce that the Varnum Memorial Armory Museum is open for tours, but with restrictions as follows:

— Tour groups are limited to 10 or fewer guests.
— Tour participants and tour guides are required to wear masks.
— Six-foot social distancing is required during the tour.

Museum tours will be configured to minimize the degree to which participants will come into contact with potential transmission points (door knobs, etc.). Between tours, the museum’s possible transmission points, bathrooms, and other areas will be thoroughly cleaned by museum personnel before another tour takes place. When booking your tour, we strongly encourage you to communicate any special circumstances or concerns to museum staff.
