The museum closed in September [[2004]] after the roof was ripped off by [[Hurricane Ivan]], destroying about a fifth of the collection and damaging another fifth. The surviving artifacts were donated to the [[T. T. Wentworth Museum]], including a 12-pound cannonball found in [[downtown Pensacola]], a battle muster roll, and an original label from the flagstaff cleat at [[Fort McRee]].
[[As of 2008]] the building has not been leased to a new tenant and is being used to house the [[Saenger Theatre]]'s Robert Morton pipe organ during its own restoration work.<ref>"Auld Lang Saenger." ''Pensacola News Journal'', February 10, 2008.</ref>
