I was here in the down season but it was still amazing. With there were more signs on the outside to explain the fort and it’s purpose. There was one at the main entrance and then I didn’t see another one. I took the whole loop and the cemetery on the far side was very interesting.

Aside from the cold, forceful wind, it was a wonderful tour! Steve did such a great job of sharing his enthusiasm for this fort with those of us touring. He made it fun and also put things in perspective in regards to the importance of this huge and unique fort. Proud to call ourselves Tunnel Rats!

We went on a self guided tour and enjoyed the freedom o experience the location. We also signed up for the underground hard hat tour. This was very cool into the tunnels and rooms that most people don’t see. However, we would feel more comfortable with certain changes to the tour for the future; mainly hand railings on the stairs throughout the tour. Also suggest moving the various equipment that is stored there for the grounds keeping to be in a centralized location and not scatted throughout the various parts we saw. We could easily see how much needs to be cleaned and restored and maintained and understand it’s a monumental task. However, most of the grounds were incredible to witness and w enjoyed our educational trip! Thank you!

Fort Adams is one of the most amazing forts in the world. While it was never the site of any battles, it is a marvel of military engineering and a place of great strategic significance in US history. It is also located on one if the most scenic sites in New England - the fort has commanding views of Newport, Jamestown, harbour and bridge. Our visit was highlighted by a really informative tour organised through the Fort Adams Trust - a wonderful organisation dedicated to preserving and interpreting this site. We have had the privilege over many visits during the past 20 years of seeing how their efforts keep revealing the many layers of the forts extraordinary history and architecture. Tony, our guide was both a font of knowledge and adept at keeping the tour interesting for our diverse group (6 to 60+y.o.). I can't recommend this tour highly enough... one of the best ways to spend a couple of hours in New England in any season.

Visited the fortress at Fort Adams. It was disappointing that the fort has fallen into such disrepair and vandalization. I am glad to see that restoration is in full swing. There is a museum on site that is thoughtfully laid out and informative. The views from the top of the fort are nice.

We had a stop here as part of our scenic tour of Newport. Did not have time to go inside the fortress, just had a wander around by the info centre to enjoy the views. The fort itself appeared quite rundown. Still worth a stop.
