Battery Trueman, constructed in 1905, is a battery-mounted gun with two 3-inch rapid-fire guns. The idea behind having a battery here was to protect the fort from fast torpedo boats and minesweepers. Today the guns are gone, but you can see where they were once mounted on their platforms.

Battery Payne

Highlight • Historical Site

Battery Payne was built in 1904 and was the western-most 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.
