Short reference to the Liberty Arsenal including a picture of the facility stating that the arsenal was built by David M. Bevins who came to Clay County in 1821. The arsenal was built in the early 1830s and maintained by the federal government until the early 1880s. "The arsenal was built on the bluff just above Baxter's or Liberty Landing, about three miles south of Liberty. Here shining brass cannon pointed their muzzles out over the broad expanse of the Missouri River and glittering bayonets were carried over the parade grounds by blue-clad soldiers."
