One component of Fort MacArthur is Battery Osgood-Farley which is considered one of the best preserved examples of U.S. Coastal Defense emplacements remaining. Another such emplacement at the fort is Battery John Bartow and Saxton.
The Fort MacArthur Military Museum is at the site of Battery Osgood-Farley.
The museum opened in 1985.

My Cooter's History Blog has become about 80% World War II anyway, so I figured to start a blog specific to it, especially since we're commemorating its 70th anniversary and we are quickly losing this "Greatest Generation." The quote is taken from Pearl Harbor survivor Frank Curre, who was on the USS Tennessee that day. He died Dec. 7, 2011, seventy years to the day. His photo is below at right.
