*'''PRESERVATION'''

Following World War II, the majority of former Coast Defense sites underwent transition from government ownership to private hands. While some were repurposed by landowners or converted into public spaces, many others succumbed to urban development or were deemed unsafe for public access. It's imperative that we safeguard these historical landmarks from further deterioration. Out of approximately 150 sites scattered across New England, over 50 have already been lost to demolition or neglect. Preserving these sites is paramount to ensuring their survival for future generations.

*'''RESTORATION'''

Another crucial aspect of our mission is the restoration of former Coast Artillery Corps (CAC) sites. While our current involvement in restoration projects is limited, we are prioritizing the restoration of the [[HECP Restoration|Harbor Entrance Control Post]] (HECP) at Fort Stark, a substantial endeavor demanding considerable time and resources. As these structures continue to age, it's essential to undertake restoration efforts to preserve and interpret their historical significance. Presently, there are no restored Endicott or World War II gun batteries in New England. However, initiatives such as the cleanup of batteries at Fort Adams and the proposed renovation of Battery 201 in Cape Elizabeth, Maine, underscore the growing interest in preserving our military heritage.
