ANNVILLE — Pennsylvanians who want to host a community function can consider one of 62 Pennsylvania National Guard armories, readiness centers throughout the state, or the Keystone Conference Center located in Annville.

Maintained by the Pennsylvania Department of Military and Veterans Affairs, the armories/readiness centers serve as local training facilities for members of the Pennsylvania National Guard. When not being used for training, many are available to be rented by the public.

“These facilities are spacious with plenty of parking and handicap accessibility, making them ideal for reunions, fundraisers, birthday parties, or any other community event,” said Marc Ferraro, DMVA’s deputy for facilities and engineering. “We welcome people to give us a call to discuss the possibility of renting an armory or readiness center in their town.”

To inquire about availability or to rent an armory/readiness center, call the Office of Facilities and Engineering at 717-861-8581 or email: RA-MVPARC@PA.GOV. A complete list of armories/readiness centers available to rent can be found at directory of rentable facilities.
