Cycling

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.
