The Wagoner Armory, also known as National Guard Armory, was built in 1938 by the
Base Realignment and Closure Commission
.
The Wagoner Armory, like many other armories, was contaminated with lead from bullets fired in their underground rifle ranges and from asbestos.[2] The Oklahoma Department of Environmental Quality cleaned the facility up as part of its Site Cleanup Assistance Program.[2]
The municipal government of Wagoner, Oklahoma took over ownership on October 22, 2009.[2]
The city is not exactly sure what their plans are for the armory but they are thinking about letting different groups use it, such as some senior citizen groups.[3]
