The main focus of this museum is the preservation and interpretation of 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 people who contribute to its success. The museum is a 501(C)(3) non-profit corporation and relies on donations to continue its restoration, preservation, and educational activities.
Donations of any amount are helpful, as the museum has a track record of making a little money go a long way. For example, $20 can buy a can of paint, a length of lumber, a box of nails, or other needed items.
