- The echoes of past wars resonate within the walls of this now defunct ammunition plant. These buildings are filled with intermittent reverberations of wartime tension, and the workers' struggle to produce the ammunition needed to win the world's deadliest conflict. Follow Andrew and Isaiah as they delve inside to discover what remains.

I used to drill with the 205th in those old buildings. I took a military tour of them in the early 80's when they were still being kept in case they needed them again. We were told during the tour that they produced small arms ammo during the Viet Nam war. The machinery was coated with cosmoline. The guide said it would take longer to recalibrate all of the tools than it had taken to originally open the plant. It looks like all of the production line has been removed.
Most of the buildings have already been demolished..... I worked for the company that used to operate the armory, as they still exist & have been in the northern suburbs since 1922.
This channel deserves more views, high quality production
Thanks, we certainly try our best.
You guys are like The Proper People of MN. Awesome.
That's actually funny you mention that, a lot of our videos are inspired by their work. Thanks for the compliment!
I could tell right away. I'm a big fan of their channel. I live in MN and just discovered you guys. Keep up the good work!@@theworldofyesterday4151
Thanks man, watching these helps me woth PTSD and anxiety and panic attacks

A Federal Signal Thunderbolt. (the yellow horn)
And at 18:01 that yellow box has to been the control panel.
Good catch! Thanks for watching!
Love Thunderbolts! They used to be all over the Twin Cities
i used to drive a sanitation truck in the late 90's into the plant to pump out the outhouses they had in there for the construction and clean up crews working in there demoing buildings and removing left over lead buried in the ground on the site,at the time there was still others working inside the plant so they had an m.p standing guard at the entrance to check me in and out of the ammo plant and as i was leaving the ammo i would always ask him if he wanted to inspect the contents of my tank on the truck and that i was perfectly willing to crack open a valve on the tank to open it up so he could see the contents inside to make sure i didn't have anything inside of it that was illeagal for me to have haha well lets just say he refused to want to check the contents of my tank and that he would just have to trust that i was being honest with him about what was in there with him having to see or smell what i had in my tank hahaha imagine that i always asked if he was sure and he said yes he was very sure he didn't want to see what i had inside my tank after a few hours of pumping out portable toilets haha it was just fun messing with them guys it always made my day.
My friend and I ran into those same people, they pretended to be guards to scare us.
I worked base security there in the early 90s, while there was still a small amount of production still going on. Very cool place when all the buildings were still standing. Lots of nasty stuff in the ground though. No way they cleaned it all up.
The small bunkers you passed on the way inside is where the gunpowder was stored. FYI. All in small batches to limit the damage in case of explosion
Thanks for the info! We wondered what the purpose of those were.
What plant was this was it the twin cities ordnance plant or the gopher plant
My Grandpa and his brother worked there Korea/ Vietnam era.
I have bow hunted all over that area . When you get out and about the
Area there are hazards all over the place. I almost fell into an empty
Cement pool out there. That area is also highly contaminated ground out there
Looks like an awesome place. Glad you guys were able to get access and film it before it is lost. A fairly substantial site!
It was a surreal find!
I took a motorcycle training course there in one of the old parking areas back in 1983.
I was just there the other day and im going back today to scope it out
Maybe I’ll see you there!
Where it at
Awsome channel man
Thanks for the vid, just did the last round of airsoft there, 30+ sheriffs cars are always parked the the main path now, pretty sure there just from the station right by it
I live by an abandoned munitions plant but idk if it's the one.
Crazy how there’s snow on the ground still
Minnesota has crazy weather...
The World Of Yesterday lmaooo trueeee
I can smell this video from here.
You guys know that distinct wet trash abandoned buildings smell.
Ik where this is but theres legit no buildings there
Caden Harmsen where at? I’m tryna go
Dennis 123 its by hilltop
Where is this in Minneasota?
We can't give out locations, but doing your research should reveal an answer!
@@theworldofyesterday4151 ok but just 1 Question is this still around and not destroyed?
@@urbexking8741 We're not entirely sure, but chances are it's still around. Just be careful if you do find it, lots of hazards there.
The World Of Yesterday could you perhaps, point me in the right direction?
Rosemount
Sick video guys! I liked the history lesson at the beginning. I just launched an urbex channel so I thought I'd stop by and offer my support. Subscribed :)
Awesome, we'll check it out!
Holy shit you went to north? I’m a senior there LOL
Is it entirely fenced in?
Pretty much.
And on national guard training grounds lol
Dope
Thank you Christian!
I bought a house in mounds view 1997 we take my little girls and my son walking over by the arsenal you there was signs in the parking lot with a list of rules a couple I remember one was you had to park one person per car pointing away from the building and the other one which I'll never forget I wish I would have stole the sign said anybody even thought to be a threat or a spy or any other thing will be shot on site you don't see too many signs like that anymore I wish I would have stole it
Notification squad 👍
Beautiful!
This is my favorite place to go I recommend it
you know what the address is ???? 😊
@@normaortega6033 pls lmk
where is it located?
Yo Are you guys aware of "Tartaria" all the old/repurposed buildings are what got me interested in Urban Exploration
We've never heard of it. What is it?
@@theworldofyesterday4151 Its basically an old civilization that has been purposely hidden from us. Now we can see remnants of it all over the world from "Star forts" and cities to Buildings like "the old stockyard in south st paul" that have clearly been repurposed in the past and then lots of times abandoned. But mostly repurposed like Capital Buildings and Cathedrals. Check out the channel "Jonlevi" or "when the buildings cried" and "flatearthbritish" they cover lots of it. Its a deep subject and intrigues me to want to find abandoned buildings that are from Tartaria. Lots of Churches, Schools, Big theatres... its clear they were MUCH more advanced then Credited for. I can go on for hours its very interesting.
@@theworldofyesterday4151"Mudflooded" buildings that look like they were built into a hill or slanted but is actually from some sort of crazy "Mudflood" And "Antique-tech" Etheric(free energy) being harvested on lots of these buildings. Its all been suppressed to tell us we came from cavemen when actually it was Highly advanced. The "Worlds Fairs" were big events they had to show off all this inherited structures and tore lots down afterward. Parasites have subverted our once Godly culture... It seems.
I like the video You missed so much about 3/4 of the facility had already been demolished there’s more secrets there
Yeah, we got here a couple years too late:(
Is there anything left? thinking on checking it out before its all gone
@@sinyoorcham781 same but after hearing it was being Demolished it's probably all gone.
@@urbexking8741 nah there is still a few buildings on site
Matt McLellan could you give me coordinates for the remaining site?
great video :D
Thank you so much!
You guys ever get caught trespassing?
Twice we've been caught, but luckily we haven't been charged. We just got chased out by the owner or a caretaker.
Also sorry for the late response.
Ive went here yesterday still standing strong
Yes on federal private property nobody can get permission to go in there
where is this?
We do not give out location information, Will. Thanks for your support though!
okay thx anyway, would love to come caving with you guys sometime. i like how you really spend some time to get cool shots, the effort is not lost on me
@@willunderhill4673 We have been there previously. Most of the site is rubble now, unfortunately.
very cool, yea I'm gonna have to figure out where this ^^^ is. hope it's close to the cities
@@willunderhill4673 We would suggest finding more information online. It shouldn't be too hard to determine. But half the fun of exploring is finding where these hidden gems reside. Happy hunting!
You got directions to the place
We're sorry, but we don't give out locations, however, if you search around enough and look on Google Earth, you could definitely spot it. The reason we don't tell people where these places are is for liability reasons, lots of people get hurt/in trouble doing this stuff, and we don't wanna be held responsible if something bad happens. Just keep searching and we guarantee you'll find it.
Don't go here. Sherrifs patrol it more now and they will charge you and you'll have to go to court.
Sad they r setting things up to destroy it
