The Armory of the Kentish Guards is a historic armory at Armory and Peirce Streets in East Greenwich, Rhode Island.

The armory was built in 1843 with $1,000 which was donated to the Kentish Guards by the RI General Assembly [ [http://www.kentishguards.org/armory.htm Kentish Guards Armory ] ] . It was added to the National Historic Register in 1970.

The gallery of pictures in the armory are especially interesting. Former members of the Guard are featured. The original charter hangs on the wall as a lasting reminder and a memorial to those men who organized the Kentish Guards in 1774.
