This blog grew out of my "Down Da Road I Go Blog," which was originally to be about stuff I was interested in, music and what I was doing. There was so much history and Civil War entries, I spun two more off. Starting Jan. 1, 2012, I will be spinning a Naval blog off this one called "Running the Blockade."

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.
