We came here for an hour and ended up spending 2 1/2 hours. It is a very well done and interesting museum about the history of the Navy Seabees beginning in World War 2 through the current conflicts and humanitarian missions plus an exhibit on building a station in Antarctica. The museum is free and outside the navy base fence so it is easy to visit.

Ballistic hidden gem of Point Mugus historic place in rocketry. Often, or nearly always overlooked is Point Mugus role in the history of rocketry. We hear about Vandenberg and of course Cape Canerveral. Yet Point Mugus role is rarely mentioned. Great display.
