The Liberty Arsenal, known by Federal authorities as the Missouri Depot〔History of Clay and Platte Counties, p. 195〕 was an 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.〔History of Clay & Platte Cos., pp. 174-175, pp. 195-187〕 It was located generally west of the junction of Missouri Route 291 and old 210 Highway. 〔Borgedalen, ''Liberty Tribune''〕 ==Construction of the arsenal== On July 2, 1836, President Andrew Jackson signed a bill authorizing construction of an arsenal on the western frontier of Missouri, and on June 30, 1837, the Federal government obtained a deed to ten acres of land near Liberty. Construction of the arms depot was completed in 1839 and on September 30, 1841 the War Department reported that the arsenal consisted of one building for officers' quarters, one building for men's quarters, one storehouse, one magazine, three workshops, one armory, two gun sheds and two laboratories. At that time the whole amount, expended for the Liberty Arsenal from its first establishment amounted to $26,435.96. 〔Shoemaker, ''Sikeston Herald''〕
