Visit the Harbor Defense Museum August 22, 2007

The highlight of the Harbor Defense Museum is the free guided tours conducted daily by the museum staff. Explore the outer defenses of historic Fort Hamilton and visit the bluff that overlooks the Narrows -- the main entrance into New York City. As the only Army Museum in New York City, the Harbor Defense Museum has acquired a fine collection of military artifacts from the Revolutionary War to World War II. Come explore new exhibits on the Battle of Brooklyn or learn how to load and fire a 19th century cannon.
