Artillery Company of Newport

Newport, RI

The Artillery Company of Newport keeps its 1836 stone armory on Clarke Street in Rhode Island — home of one of America's oldest military organisations, chartered in 1741 — as a museum of uniforms and cannon. Quiet lore gives it footsteps, moved kit and a watchful presence among the colours.
