Warwick Life host Scott Nerney talks with Varnum Memorial Armory Museum Curator Patrick Donovan.

The Varnum Continentals militia built the Varnum Armory in East Greenwich in 1913 as a meeting place and a museum of Rhode Island military history. Hear how the Varnum’s collection is maintained and preserved, how the museum is expanding its exhibit space to include recent wars, and a moving tale about one of Patrick’s favorite artifacts.

Visit the Varnum Continentals website.
