When North Carolina seceded from the Union in April 1861, local militia took the arsenal, turned it over to the State of North Carolina, who in turn gave it to the new Confederate States of America. Union troops, commanded by Gen. William T. Sherman, destroyed the facility in March 1865. Visitors can explore the site, which contains extant ruins with explanation signage; a steel semblance of the North- west tower called the "ghost" tower. Arsenal Park is one of three historic resources at the Museum of the Cape Fear Historical Complex.
