The Fayetteville Arsenal-- Part 6: Not Much Remains


From Wikipedia.

Besides the leveling of the Fayetteville Arsenal near the end of the Civil War, even more of the site was destroyed by the construction of a road that went in in 1988.

One  partial frame outbuilding remains and a historical marker..  Remnants of the U.S. Arsenal can be seen at the Museum of the Cape Fear Complex.

The foundations of buildings located along the back wall of the arsenal as well as two towers can be seen in a park located behind the museum.

The Fayetteville Arsenal was listed on the NRHP in 1983.

The site  is going to be turned into the North Carolina Civil War and Reconstruction Museum.
