At Chattahoochee was the former U.S. Arsenal, which was started as a storehouse for weapons during the Second Seminole War. The arms issued here were given to the Florida Militia. It was a remote post, and sometimes only had a single NCO to man the post. The arsenal saw a little excitement during the Civil War. The officers' quarters remain as the administration building of the Florida State Hospital.
