Fort Adams is huge and well maintained. Our guide was informative with a host of stories. Try not to go on an extremely windy day !!

When we travel, we bring along supplies for a light picnic lunch of cheese, bread, crackers, sliced meats, wine and water, so we are always on the look out for a good place to stop around 2:00 PM. This is a good spot off season to stop for a picnic. When you enter go immediately to the left, then take... More

Walked the loop, decent walk with some views. There is the fort in the center. They had tours, but they were limited in the times, so didn't take one. There were bathrooms, and plenty of picnic tables.

Fort Adams allows you to learn about the occupation by the British in the War for Independence, changes in... More

Enjoy the history of Fort Adams. Watch some college sailing or catch a soccer game. It's worth a visit.
