The Liberty Arsenal, known by Federal authorities as the Missouri Depot[1] was a United States Army arsenal at Liberty, Missouri in Clay County, Missouri. The depot was seized twice by Southern partisans, once during the Kansas troubles in 1855, and again shortly after the outbreak of the American Civil War.[2] It was located generally west of the junction of Missouri Route 291 and old 210 Highway.[3]
