    1. [NY-TROY-IRISH-GENSOC] future of Watervliet Arsenal Museum collection?

    3. “Muller said people have many questions and worries about what will happen to the museum’s collection and to the building in which it was housed.” Crowe, Kenneth C., III “Plans dropped for revamped Watervliet Arsenal Museum; Plan for renovation and reopening called off, military officials say.” Albany Times Union. August 8, 2014. http://www.timesunion.com/default/article/Watervliet-Arsenal-Museum-won-t-reopend-5676595.php Hopefully the TU will follow up on the unanswered questions raised in the article? If the main problem under consideration was security for visitors entering the base to get to the museum, presumably the museum could have been moved into a building in Watervliet outside of the Arsenal rather than closing it entirely. Possibly the entire Iron Building could be moved outside of the Arsenal? One wonders how long the new Path Through History signs for the Arsenal Museum will stay up around the area. Chris
