Battery Payne was built in 1904 and was the western-most battery defending Fort Pickens. It had 3-inch rapid-fire guns and an igloo magazine built for storage, and it has stairs that lead to a tunnel and underground storage area. Today the guns are gone, but the battery and foundation can be explored and walked around.

Fort Pickens was built to defend Pensacola Bay and the Pensacola Navy Yard and Depot from attacks. The fort could hold 1,000 soldiers during an attack and was equipped with cannons. To visit the areas of the Gulf Islands National Seashore where Fort Pickens is, there is an entry fee as it is a national park.
