Fort Adams served as housing for soldiers from 1824-1950. It is located a short ride from the Newport waterfront—cross the Newport Bridge or hop a boat from across the harbor. History comes alive at the stone fortress, preserved in place by the sea. It is an architectural masterpiece of tunnels and bastions that you and the kids can climb. Witness military re-enactment and Newport music and dance festivals and events on the six-acre parade field. Admission: $10 adults, $5 ages 6-17.
