Bellona Arsenal, Military historic district in Chesterfield County, Virginia, United States.
The arsenal complex contains a granite powder magazine measuring ninety feet in length and three converted residential buildings from the original structures.
Established in 1814 by Major John Clarke, the Bellona Arsenal operated as a weapons manufacturing facility with an iron foundry supported by local coal mines.
The facility received its name from Bellona, the Roman goddess of war, reflecting the military purpose of the site during the early 19th century.
The buildings of this National Register of Historic Places site are now private residences and access is restricted to viewing from public roads.
A roofless granite powder magazine remains as a testament to the manufacturing capabilities of Virginia's early industrial military production facilities.
