Museum of the cape

fear historical
complex
A regional branch of the North
Carolina Museum of History. Aside
from its indoor Civil War exhibits,
this museum in Fayetteville oversees
the 4.5-acre site of the 1836 U.S.
Arsenal. This facility was seized
during the war and used to
manufacture arms for the
Confederacy. When Gen. William T.
Sherman's army reached Fayetteville
on March 11, 1865, Union forces
destroyed the arsenal.

Fort Macon State Park

This brick and stone fort, first garrisoned in
1834, was part of the United States costal
defense system, guarding the deep-water
port of Beaufort. At the outbreak of the
Civil War, Fort Macon was seized by
Confederate troops. During Gen. Ambrose
Burnside's invasion of North Carolina, Fort
Macon was recaptured by Union forces after
a siege and bombardment in March-April
1862. During the rest of the war, the fort
served as a coaling station for the Federal
fleet at Beaufort.
