The main purpose of this museum is to preserve and interpret the history of a U.S. Army post that guarded the Los Angeles harbor from 1914 to 1974.
Visitors can expect to see a variety of exhibits and displays that include the history of Los Angeles harbor defenses, home-front activities during the World Wars, Civil Defense, American Pacific Theater military campaigns, early American Air Defenses, and the important role of Los Angeles as a military port.
The museum receives more than 40% of its operating budget from donations from people who support its mission and want to contribute to its success.
Donations help the museum continue its work by providing funding for materials necessary for restoration, preservation, and educational activities. Even small donations can make a big difference, as $20 can buy a can of paint, a length of lumber, or a box of nails.
The museum is located in a historic battery and offers ocean views, making it a unique and enjoyable place to visit and learn about military history.
