Watervliet Arsenal is located along the Hudson River directly across from the city of Troy and about six miles north of Albany. This US Army arsenal was built in 1813 to support the war of 1812.

In addition to its military artillery production, the arsenal is home to the Watervliet Arsenal Museum, located in the historic Iron Building.
