Friends of Old Fort Stevens Military Museum

Fort Stevens was a coastal defense fort and saw active service from the Civil War days to the end of World War II. Many interesting artifacts from its fort days that are displayed inside the Museum. Outside points of interest are the reconstruction of the Civil War earthworks – still in progress: Battery Russell, the gun battery in the line of fire from a Japanese submarine during World War II, and the near-by Pacific Rim Peace Memorial: Battery Mishler, a one of a kind battery and the underground command post for the Columbia River forts.
