Fort MacArthur Museum — Attraction in Los Angeles

Outstanding visit this morning! Our family made an impromptu trip to this hidden local gem. So much local history is just hidden along our coast. We were all taken by surprise by how engaging and how much there was to see.

Our tour guide gave us a personal tour of batteries Osgood and Farley. These 14" guns were responsible for coastal protection from enemy naval bombardment. Though the guns themselves have been long since removed, they give tours of the ammunition depot, radio room, plotting room, and generator room. So much of the equipment is maintained in a working state. Amazing and interesting place to visit. Thank you! And please be sure to support the museum...

This a very beautiful historical place. So much history is embedded within the walls of these bunkers. I can pretty much spend a long time reading up on all the interesting facts posted on the walls. There are cases with historical items. Overall, this place transports you to the World War 2 Era tdr minute you walk in. I really love the music they play throughout this place. There is a "donation" box at the entrance, I suggest you bring extra cash... Well worth it... This place will...
