History

The museum's history dates back to when Hawthorne housed the Naval Ammunition Depot in 1928. The depot was originally located in New Jersey, but following an explosion which claimed the lives of 21 people, it was decided that the depot needs to be moved to a more remote location populated with fewer residents.[3][4] During World War II, the depot played a significant role in housing ammunition for the Pacific War. By 1977, the depot no longer served the U.S. Navy and was operated by the U.S. Army instead.[1]

Collection

The majority of the museum's collection came from the ammunition depot, specialized demilitarized ammunitions used in wars during the 20th century. Other displays of the museum include military uniforms, newspaper archives, as well as photographs.[3]
