FORT MACARTHUR MUSEUM

The Fort MacArthur Museum is dedicated to the preservation and interpretation of the history of Fort MacArthur, a U.S. Army post which guarded the Los Angeles harbor from 1914 to 1974. The Museum was established in 1985, and it is housed in the corridors and galleries of historic Battery Osgood-Farley. The Fort MacArthur Reservations hold an important collection of historical structures which were part of the U.S. Army's role in the defense of the American continental coastline from invasion. These structures clearly trace the development of American coastal defenses, from the all big gun era of the turn of the century to the missile era of today... Donations don't have to be substantial, as we have a track record of making a little money go a long way, $20 can buy a can of paint, a length of lumber, box of nails, or an assortment of other needed items... Welcome to the Great Los Angeles Air Raid of 1942!
