Copperopolis Armory, built by public subscription in 1866 for 8,000 dollars, was used by the Union Guard for enlisting and training troops. In 1868 it was sold to the Copperopolis Armory Hall Association for 800 dollars in gold and was used for Congregational and Methodist Church services, public meetings, balls and rallies.

The property was purchased by the Mineral Lodge, I.O.O.F. in 1874 and used as a lodge until 1903. Copperopolis Community Center purchased the armory in 1948.

The Copperopolis Armory stands at the south end of town in a group of three National Register buildings. The other two are the Honigsberger Store and Reed's Store. A seven mile drive south on O'Byrnes Ferry Road will take you to the site of the O'Byrne Ferry which once crossed the Stanislaus River before being superseded by bridges.
