The Tonawanda Castle invites the community to take part in “A Day of Memories – Remembering the History of the Armory at the Tonawanda Castle.”
On Nov. 22 from 1 to 4 p.m., the completely restored armory of the 25th Company of the New York state National Guard — now known as the Tonawanda Castle — will be open to the community.
Visitors are asked to share their experiences and personal memories of this historic building and become an integral part of the Castle’s efforts to record and preserve the building’s magnificent legacy.
The Castle is one of the Tonawandas’ most prized historical gems, operating as an armory and then community center from 1897 to the late 1990s.
For decades this building housed the New York state National Guard and hosted community celebrations and sporting events.
Purchased privately from New York state in 2004, the owner restored the massive 38,000 square-foot armory with the sole intent of reviving the building’s early 20th century grandeur.
Doors will be open between 1 p.m. and 4 p.m. and light refreshments will be served.
An RSVP is not necessary, but appreciated.
The historic armory built in 1896, is listed on both the National and New York state historic registries.
For more information, call 743-8544.
