Drum Barracks
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Drum Barracks in Wilmington, California (a district of the city of Los Angeles near the Port of Los Angeles) is the only major American Civil War landmark in Southern California. Home of Camp Drum from 1861 to 1871, it was the Union's southwestern headquarters and oversaw the Union territory of southern California and Arizona.
Today, the barracks is open as a museum which commemorates California's contribution to the Civil War.
