Today the Arsenal is a restored house museum, furnished as it was in the 18th Century and open on Sunday afternoons, with tours by costumed interpreters.
The Arsenal is also the Headquarters of the Order of the Ancient and Honorable Huntington Militia. Every month on the third Monday of the month at 7:30 pm (except December, January and February) the Huntington Militia meets inside this historic house. The Militia also drills adjacent to The Arsenal and holds several encampments on the Green.
The Arsenal is located at 425 Park Avenue, Huntington, New York.
